This is why you wrap your thumbs around the bar when you bench.

I don't wrap my thumbs around the bar when doing pullups. Is this also fail?

Not really, as you're supporting yourself on the bar and not the other way around its not very likely to be a problem. Either way the worst case there is that you'll fall on your ass.

I find holding the bar that way for pull ups is more comfortable. I've got calluses on my hands from lifting and sometimes when doing pullups they get rubbed pretty raw and start to hurt.

As for benching, I was taught at an early age, I guess (15 or so) in school to always wrap thumbs, so I always do. Feels fine to me and less chance of death apparently.
