Why is cheerleading the most dangerious sport?

Answer 1

Cheerleading results in 66% of women's catastrophic injuries, however due to the fewer number of male participants, there are no statistics on men. In the category of Non Extreme Sports(Extreme sports being street luge, bull riding, heli skiing...) Cheerleading is currently the 3rd most dangerous sport in the world, only under Rugby and Cave Diving. This is because of the stunting and tumbling elements. These involve lifting or throwing a girl sometimes as high as 40 feet in the air. Tumbling is gymnastics which can cause injury if the technique is not proper

Answer 2

Cheerleading can be dangerous.

I'm a cheerleader, and if you dont stretch enough, or if you don't trust your teammates, things can go wrong.

Sometimes, freak accidents happen. You're lifting your flyer one minute, and the next, he/she's falling on top of you. Sometimes, you just come down from a lift weird, and you can mess up anything if you aren't paying attention.

Hope this helps :
