No, cheerleading is not always safe. In fact cheering is the most dangerous sport in the world topping even football and hockey. But, great precautions are taken to keep athletes safe. Mats should always be used, and in every stunt there should be spotters.
People get hurn mostly falling out of stunts, or getting fallen on by a flyer. They can also get hurt tumbling. Many injuries can be preventes by using mats.
Every cheerleader has a cheerleading squad. Cheerleading is near incomplete if you don't have a squad because just like any other sport you need your team (a squad is a team). Without a squad you are unable to do any stunting. Stunting is important in cheerleading as well.
