Risk of Injury

My all-star team in 2007
Cheerleading really is a dangerous sport. You can get hurt very easily considering I tore my ACL tumbling. You can break any bone in your body pretty much and you can mess up some of the organs inside of your body as well. Now they are starting to make different kinds of braces to wear over your chest so that when or if you fall out of a stunt or when you are caught in a cradle, you don't land on your stomach and mess up organs inside or hurt your ribs/back. You can get doing anythings in cheerleading. You can hurt yourself tumbling, stunting, running, jumping, or even dancing. People don't understand the risks people take and that it takes skill to do everything, all while trying not to hurt yourself.
