What the heck is Prosper cheerleading doing that one is paralyzed and one in ICU??? I hope they rethink everything they are doing before another kid is injured!
It’s not only Prosper. People very much underestimate cheerleading and the extreme demands involved. It’s a very dangerous sport. These days, it’s not just “cheering”, it’s so competitive that teams create insane, acrobatic, dangerous performances. There’s absolutely no need for it and regardless of how hard they train, they’re not professionals. There’s no net, no safe landing ground, and no EMS on scene. Acts can be and should be feet on the ground!
Cheer in general is a risky sport. Mak’s injury was a freak accident that happened in a backyard and Haylee’s accident took place at a competitive gym. Accidents can happen anywhere and can happen at any time
During the end of pyramid, we do this stunt where I stand on only my back spot for a few seconds and fall into other bases arms. She didn’t have my heal and naturally I fell through and fell right on the rod floor from one man extension. Prays for her ❤
COACH needs to be held accountable for these two accidents. Both clearly were caused due to lack of spotters. This can be avoided... Praying for this young lady
no, makayla got hurt outside of school hours and activities. she was practicing on her own time in a friends backyard. furthermore, makayla got hurt tumbling. she fell on her neck, so spotters aren't required. don't speak so boldly on who is to blame when you don't have all of the facts.
Blah blah blah stop become angry that a young child is damaged and suffering when this should not have happened! Where are the safty and protection gears! People should be very out raged. Love and support for this family!
It’s kinda hard to guarantee safety when thrown several feel up in the air. Every parent that decides to put their child in cheerleading should be aware that it is a dangerous sport.
See as a previous Allstar athlete I did cheer for 8 years I will admit it’s a dangerous sport. What has led me to multiple injuries but I do know a lot of girls this stays them out of trouble and out of depression.but I see were ur coming from
My niece was a flyer in cheerleading. She was dropped and fell on the concrete. The coach told her to brush it off. No medical check was given. Things need to change!!! My heart is with Hailey and her family, cheer family and friends. My family will be praying for Hailey, for her healing, for a miracle. 🙏🏻 Please know you’re in our thoughts. Love, from Michigan. 💜
What kind of an imbecile would have these young girls doing dangerous aerials over concrete? I'm glad to hear that your niece was OK but I hope her parents have let her know that she can say NO if she feels uncomfortable or feels something is to dangerous or maybe beyond her skill level. I think to many kids feel like they don't want to let their coaches down and are attempting acrobatics that they might not yet feel comfortable performing. So sad.
"Competitive cheering" needs better safety checks or something. These kids are attempting very dangerous feats. All to WIN and be the best. What a shame.
@@lightingbolt8148 She was a somewhat skilled cheerleader so you're also ignoring all the girls that get dropped on their heads & don't get put in the ICU, even if they don't remember the drop.
I was in Equestrian and jumped. I was dragged. Now I have Epilepsy since 1997. I was 17 and competed competively. It is not worth it for sure. My daughter wanted to join Cheer and she's 6. I let her. She's a flyer. I had no idea what all was involved.
It’s gotten over the top competitive I hope she was a kind person. Many of the girls in my daughters cheer team aren’t so nice and make her feel unqualified to be there because she can’t do back flips. Her jumps are good and she loves dancing and being there sideline at the game cheering the boys what cheer was about. Half the time they don’t cheer at things they should because they’re practicing for their own competition it’s getting out of hand. Poor girl I’m heartbroken for her. that team needs to back off the difficulty it seems
@@christinamarston2421with all star teams you train year round. You don’t cheer for other sports teams. High School cheer is completely different. However other team members treating her bad is despicable. That’s not what team is about. I’d say talk to the coach. Shouldn’t be tolerated. Kids/teens should be able to do the activities they love.
Just like football has become harder hitting and more dangerous over the decades resulting in players leaving the sport at young ages with long term chronic injuries, pain and CTE , cheerleading routines are taking on more risky moves and dangerous acrobatics than in the past, resulting in more serious and sometimes life altering injuries occurring. All in an effort to _push_ our young people to be more competitive and win contests. It's not worth it people. In the very old days, cheerleading was comparatively safe and fun, the way to was meant to be. We need to go back to that.
definitely no need to throw people up in the air and one of them being "oops, I missed.". It should be cheering on the firm ground, and absolutely no need for acrobatics.. these parents and children are just crazy... I would have never let my 3 children ( and I have a PhD, an MD and a soon to be MD kids), participate in any such idiotic activity and regret it for the rest of my (and their) lives...
@@kannaninsevagan3415well its a sport lol. Every sport has difficulty as you go into different levels. Why would we only be cheering on the grounds when thats all old news. Either way, cheerleaders have been tumbling and stunting since the 50’s
@@kiuruii8791 True, they have been cheerleading for decades, but they have been pushing the limits, starting with wearing skimpy costumes and gyrating their hips, to being tossed 10 ft into the air and tumbling into the hands of other cheerleaders. that is all great and funny till someone becomes quadriplegic or dies, then it becomes, " well, she/he died doing what they loved best", then a go-fund me page for strangers financing their funerals etc. Why should strangers, (even non cynical, sympathetic ones, who feel sorry for the death of a 17 year old), be "miseried" into funding a stranger's funeral, not sure. Oh well, everyone to their own...
Not enough of these teams have spotters that are capable of catching one of these young ladies if they fall. It's literally one of the most dangerous sports for high and jr high girls out there.
My daughter is a flyer and she's 6 years old. It's dangerous for all girls in Cheer. But, my daughter loves Cheer. It is her first year. She's been dancing since she was 2.5.
Solution? Ban competitive cheer which is driving most of this. It's not a sport, it's not dance, it's not gymnastics. It's just dangerous and pointless and no longer has anything to do with leading cheers.
But competitive cheer is a sport. I understand that it’s dangerous if you’re not managed properly but every sport comes with injuries. Why shut down this sport?
Bleesl the lord i hope and pray u get this little girl better and she gets back up and does the stuff she wants and has a good life blees the lord in the jesus name amen
People only think pro sports is dangerous. Actually, I feel that cheer teams have a higher risk as is evident here and with Mak. Both from the same area is even more scary. To close to home. Sending prayers and well wishes to family and friends
I know Mack was injured outside of organized practice. My question is, are these young people being taught the proper way to practice, spot, tumble, land, etc.? Are they routinely talked to about the dangers, risks, potential for injuries? Not just a blanket statement of responsibility of injury one time on a form prior to joining, but real conversations daily about how to avoid injury, when and where to not attempt stunts, etc. All sports come with risks that I feel aren't thoroughly weighed. I'm not for banning sports, but better injury prevention needs taught routinely. Lives are sometimes permanently altered because people don't want to take the time to properly educate, and routinely evaluate the situation. An example would be benching a student that goes against coaches directions to not practice outside of a gym with mats (for tumblers/cheer/gymnastics). Safety first needs to be ingrained.
@@kenziealexander8751 I understand my daughter is a flyer. I understand when bases don't catch. I don't understand that move but I will look it up. My daughter is 6 and just started cheer this year. I pray so much for your sister Kenzie!!!
I bet she did the thing / where the guy throws her into the air and she does a back flip with a 360 twist and landed on her head , i bet. She should have done tricking , parkour, etc.. not cheer.... ur depend on others ..
I didnt realize how dangerous it could be for these young girls, I will pray for you too.
It is very dangerous. I pray for Haylee!
God loves you

1st one had nothing to do with the coach the kids were practicing at home on their own time please educate before saying something

So no footage of the accident? She must have hit her head awful hard. Yikes.
It was in a backyard!

I agree and my daughter is in Cheer.
Then what’s the point of competition is your keeping your feet on the ground? I guess gymnastics shouldn’t be allowed either then.
I dislocated my elbow a cheerleading competition when dropped. I’m so thankful it wasn’t worse and as tragic as this. Prayers for her recovery.

Football shouldn't even be a part of schooling. CTE (brain damage) shouldn't be something we promote or sponsor.
