All-Star Even The Simpilest Skills In Cheer Are Dangerous?

[Deleted member 15]

How is it even possible to break your leg or any part of the leg area doing a toe touch? I don't get it. Does someone want to explain?

She was trying to snap her legs together for the landing, but didn't quite get them together. Her feet hit the ground about 4 inches apart and the momentum of snapping her legs was too much.

At the beginning of the season I was warming up my jumps for tryouts, AT tryouts...rolled my ankle in a toe touch, sprained my ankle, couldn't even DO jumps for tryouts.

I was doing a Toe Touch Punch front back in 2010 (I know that may sound hard to come, but its a skill I have had since 2003 and could throw like I could walk) and I broke my tybia.

One tiime I was running to the other gym during practice and tripped on the floor and face planted. Or the time I was doing a standing tuck with my legs strapped together and when I finally landed one I jumped up and slipped off the edge of the floor and smaked my face on the floor.

One of our boys fell on his head doing a toe touch... but he'll stick a triple full with unlaced high tops! It's unfair really...

 

[garretttt]

Pretty sure I can top you all: one night at the end of tumbling I was working jumps to back and really focusing on my arm placement because I dream of having rays jumps. Well I guess that threw me off because I hit my arm right below my elbow on my knee. I just thought I hyperextended or sprained it and practiced for 6 more weeks before getting it X-rayed. I had broken my ulna right below the elbow. Cheered advanced/level 5 for 8 years before that, had done thousands of toe touches, and broke my arm doing a toe touch. Hahhahaha I am a clumsy fool!!

I still haven't figured it out... pretty sure he jumped and tried to tuck before he landed lol guys might be able to tumble easier but I think the ladies have 'em beat on the brains

I knew a girl who could full and she broke her ankle doing a cartwheel.
And there was a girl at my gym who broke her finger doing a backwards role.
Its always the dumb stuff

Nothing serious, but my friend and I were practicing jumps in her bedroom and as I did a front hurdler my back leg hit a laundry basket and I fell on my face hahaha. & years ago i was playing around in a tumbling class and decided to try a punch front on the tumble track but I tucked too much and my knee hit my forehead. It looked like an egg was protruding from my eyebrow.

Clearly I'm a little clumsy, ahaha.

i remember doing jumps in my room at one point and smacking my hand on my dresser, i was fine, so i moved away from it a little, smacked my foot on the dresser next. clearly im smart, but luckily that was when i had just started cheer, so im not too embarrassed.
