Yes Cheerleading is a dangerous sport due to the high levels of gymnastics and lifts and tosses. 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 correct
