Which school sport has the highest injury risk in statistics?
Cheerleading
Background
Many think of football or boxing, but in school sports cheerleading tops the stats for serious injuries. Throws, pyramids and falls send many athletes to hospital. In the USA cheerleading causes more than two thirds of all serious school sport injuries among girls. The sport looks harmless but is actually very risky.
