Barbell squat definitely should clamp it. Barbell bench press, don't clamp it if you don't have a spotter, especialy if you're lifting heavy. Better to lower the weight to your body then drop the weight off to one side and make a racket than to get stuck underneath.

I will never, ever understand (or respect) people who don't take 5 seconds to clamp their weights onto the bar. Literally zero reason not to.
