Cheerleading
Wait, cheerleading? Seriously? Well, when you consider the physical demands to make a competition cheer routine successful, one could start drawing some conclusions. These actions include flips, lifts, stacking, and transitions that would make the average athlete quake in their boots.
Say It Ain't So
Think about how high cheerleaders get tossed in the air when you watch their routines on television. Statistically speaking, there are going to be some mistakes from time to time. Roughly 30,000 cheerleaders are hospitalized because of their injuries per year. On average, 10 or so cheerleaders die from cheer-related activities annually.
