High-Yield Explanation
Upper uterine segment is at more risk of rupture in case of a previous classical cesarean section.

It is because such a scar is difficult to appose and healing is not good because of frequent contractions and retraction during puerperium. (Sheila TB of obstetrics 2nd edtn pg 338)
