whoa

Think twice before allowing your daughter to become a cheerleader.

Might I suggest modeling as an alternative? (Uh, OK... maybe not when she's still in high school...)

"I was inverted and in the air with nothing to stop me from coming straight down on my head."

When I read this my first thought was, "What do you mean nothing to stop you? Did they chop your arms off before they threw you into the air?" If she had been properly trained then she would have been able to avoid landing on her head and neck. Even falling straight down and inverted, you can still minimize damage.

I realize that falling is not supposed to be part of cheerleading, but in reality it is (have you ever watched one of those cheerleading competitions on TV? Insane). Safety measures are great, but falls are inevitable.; April 1, 2007 at 5:10:00 PM GMT+9
Anonymous said...: If you're looking for a cautionary tale about being a cheerleader (specifically a cheerleader on a trampampoline), check out Eli Roth's faux trailer for "Thanksgiving." It's one of the trailers playing at the intermission for Grindhouse. Awesome doesn't begin to describe it.
