could it just be that these girls are not very tough?
thanks everyone. i agree that cheerleading is dangerous when you throw a hundred pound girl 15ft in the air, but the fact that they have more injuries than anyone else hardly justifies it as being the most dangerous. in most organised sports, the weakest teams usually endure the most injuries.
cheer is power - thank you for sending me your answer via email as well
thumbs up for everybody
even the one THAT WON'T STOP YELLING!
 
deffinatly! i am a cheerleader and most people dont beleive that its even a sport! to me it depends on what kind of cheerleading. like compition is probably the most dangerous, but just cheering for games and stuff is safe, duh?
 
DUH ITS THE MOST DANGEROUS SPORT!!!!

WE GET LAUNCHED 20 FEET IN THE AIR.

WE LIFT UP CHICAS! THEY COULD LOSE BALANCE AND SNAP OUR NECKS!

WE DO FRONTFLIPS AND BACKFLIPS AND HANDSPRINGS AND TUCKS!

DON'T GET ME STARTED ON ONE MAN STUNTS!!!!!

WE DO IT ALL IN A FREAK'N SKIRT!!!!! YOU DON'T SEE US IN A HELMET OR SHIN GUARDS! WE DON'T HAVE ANY SHOULDER PADS!
 
the stunts that they pull off are incredibly dangerous, one cheerleader who wasn't caught in mid air ruptured her pancreas when she hit the floor and died
 
hahah no wayy is cheerleading the MOST dangerous sport. it has maybe a few risks but there are waaaay more extreme sports out there
