With cheerleading stunts getting more daring, devastating injuries are increasing. Laura Jackson broke her neck while attempting a back tuck at cheer tryouts. She’s now a quadriplegic, adjusting to a new life on the sidelines.

What scares me the most is the lack of proper training for these gymnastic stunts. My daughter trained to Level 10 gymnastics before giving it up. I can spot a gymnastics-trained cheerleader and an “I wanna be a cheerleader” cheerleader a mile away.
They should be honest about this crap, it isn't cheerleading, its group gymnastics pure and simple.
You never see those intricate routines performed on the sidelines at high school football or basketball games which is what real cheerleading is all about............
