Dame un "C", dame una "H"....



Viendo algunas de las pelis de "high-school" americanas que ponen en España, podría uno pensar que esto de ser cheerleader del equipo del instituto es una inocente actividad para las chicas que quieren ser "populares" entre sus compañeros de clase.

Pues parece que lo de ser cheerleader tiene sus riesgos:
But today’s young cheerleaders, who perform tricks once reserved for trapeze artists, may be in more peril than any female athletes in the country.
[...]
Of 104 catastrophic injuries sustained by female high school and college athletes from 1982 to 2005 — head and spinal trauma that occasionally led to death — more than half resulted from cheerleading, according to the National Center for Catastrophic Sports Injury Research. All sports combined did not surpass cheerleading.


O sea, que más de la mitad de accidentes mortales en chicas de instituto ocurrieron mientras practicaban "cheerleading".
