Which is more dangerous football or cheerleading?

Answer 1

Cheerleading. Football results in 63.5% of all men's catastrophic injuries. Cheerleading results in 66% of women's catastrophic injuries, however doe to the fewer number of male participants, there are no statistics. 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. Football does not make the top ten

Answer 2

Football

--------------------------------

With football, you are protected (helmet, pads, etc) and the equipment that you wear is designed to protect you.

With cheerleading, there have been many injuries (bad flips, drops, etc) and since cheerleaders aren't protected by padding, helmets and neck braces, you can get injured much worse in cheerleading than football.
