Cheerleaders all have to work together and if one screws up we all fall we also have amazing tumbling and throw each other in the air in the last 6 years 140000.15 people have broken a bone in Cheerleading
Most of the dangers of cheerleading come from stunts. All though they may look easy they are extreamly difficult. The girls or boys holding the flier up in the air must be strong and aware of whats going on in the stunt. Also though I have never seen this but I have heard of cheerleaders getting trampled by football players. Your coach may tell you to not stunt while the game is in play because the players might run out of bounds and hit your stunt causing it to fall and people may get seriously hurt. Cheerleading is the most dangerous "sport" because of all the things that can go wrong with stunts. Also pay attention to the game while your cheering expecially Basketball mostly because your close to the action. And the ball could fly over and hit you. But don't act all girly about it and jump away when its like 40 ft away from you. Just pick it up and through it to the Reff (hes the one in the black and white striped shirt). :)
Cheer is more dangerous than football because of... Well a lot of things. Some of them are:
- Stunting- It is easy to drop a stunt. It is very dangerous for all people of a stunt. A flyer can fall and get hurt very easily, it is as simple as not locking out or not being tight enough, or even putting your foot where its not supposed to be. But a base or a front or back spot can also get hurt as well. If a flyer comes down wrong, they can easily hit one of them and break something or hurt them.
- Tumbling- Many people (Including me) have gotten hurt. All I did was rebound a little too much and I broke my arm. All you have to do is mess up, or fall funny and it is easy to get hurt.
There are MANY other reasons why cheerleading is more dangerous. I don't want anyone to think that cheer isn't worth it though. Even though you may get hurt (depending if you like it or not) you should go right back. I love cheer, it is a lot of fun (very hard work) but well worth it, in my opinion, any day!
Because it is. Cheerleaders are often injured when doing stunts. Especially when the cheerleader that does air stunts is dropped.

Which is harder - cheerleading or football?
There is no way to determine if a sport is "harder" than another sport. So lets compare football and cheering (I'm going to use All-Star cheering here) Goal of Sport: Football: Outplay your opponent, using formations, to score the most points to win Cheerleading: Perform a 2:30 routine (composed of stunts, tumbling, jumps, and dance) without flaws to receive a higher score than your opponent. In terms of skill: Football: Football requires stamina, agility, speed Cheerleading: Cheering requires, stamina, strength, flexibility, and coordination In terms of difficulty: Not to down football, but I think its more difficult to throw a girl in the air, or do a back tuck than it is to throw a ball down a field. In terms of danger: Cheerleading is the 3rd most dangerous sport in the world. Football is the 10th Safety: Football: Padding and helmits Cheerleading: Mats, however no body protection Cheerleading has no "off season" no half- time, no time-out and no bench However, many football players lift weights and condition year round
