What is the worst injury you (or someone you know) has gotten from cheerleading and how did you get it?
I sprained all the ligaments in my right thumb. I am a back and my flyer was doubling and my thumb jammed into her back and bent it backwards. It was black and blue for days. I didn't go to the doctors because I didn't want to let my team down. I was back practicing in three days. Fortunately my thumb healed properly and is pretty good today. (I don't recommend underplaying and injury because it can be a lot worse than it seems.)
