Cheerleading is the number one most dangerous sport. Most people think it is just girls standing around shaking their “pom poms”. While that might have been true many years ago times have changed since cheerleading was first discovered. It has transformed into something much more. Even though it is not considered a sport cheer is very physically demanding. Cheerleading is a combination of tumbling, stunting, and dancing. In the United States there have been 208,800 break injuries ages 5-18 in the past 5 years.
