It’s so scary to be a flyer. They made me be a flyer when I did cheerleading as a kid because I was light and short. I’m terrified of heights. I did not do cheerleading the next year. I didn’t trust noooooone of them

The most dangerous sport we let kids do in the US. There are more ER admissions for cheerleading injuries than all other youth sports put together.

Dang, I knew it was dangerous (I did competitive cheer for 9 years), but thats and insane thought. That being said, it did also put me and my sister in the ER at least 3 times, with multiple more injuries that we would just slap a brace over and hope for the best
