there is a large risk while being a cheerleader that you will get injured. All sports present a risk of being injured. Even sports like ping pong can cause injuries. What makes cheerleading particularly well known for injuring team member is because of the type of injuries cheerleaders suffer. While cheerleaders can easily suffer common injuries like sprains and strains, “a few widely publicized studies note that cheerleaders suffer more injuries resulting in death or paralysis than any other sport including football. This, coupled with the widely publicized death of cheerleaders like Lauren Chang, has caused many organizations to tighten regulations around the types of stunts cheerleading squads can perform and the safety precautions squads should take.” “Nearly 25,000 Cheerleaders Ended up in the Emergency Room in 2007” however most of these injuries were minor injuries such as sprained ankles, twisted knees or other more minor injuries. However cheerleading is very competitive sport not only with other teams but also with in teams themselves. If one of us gets hurt if you step out you can easily be replaced. So if you were to get hurt would just shake it off and keep going unless it is a very serious or critical injury. however no matter what a cheerleader represents the strngth to pull through and in the end end up alright.
peace love and cheer
