— Kim Mulkey (@KimMulkey) June 13, 2017 Sic 'em Lady Bears!The information on cheerleading injuries to young women is alarming: Cheerleading is the No. 1 female sport and No. 2 in catastrophic injuries when compared to all sports – only American football ranks higher. The National Center for Catastrophic Sports Injury Research at the University of North Carolina reports that 65.2 percent of all catastrophic injuries in youth sports occur in cheerleading. Cheerleader falls from gymnastic-type stunts have been reported to have a greater impact than being tackled by a professional football player. A growing body of evidence indicates that the increasingly popular world of cheerleading has become one of the most dangerous athletic activities for women. Evolving from sideline squads that once led fans in school fight songs to high-powered, complex, acrobatic shows to motivate the crowd, cheerleading is racking up sprained wrists, twisted ankles, damaged knees, strained backs and sometimes much worse. There are solutions to curb the sharp increase of catastrophic injuries – coaching education and new safety regulations like in other sports.
