Cheerleading has progressed to be one of the most dangerous sports around. From the vigorous tasks it makes your body perform there is a great deal of hardship. This sport requires one to be nothing but in shape and healthy. Cheerleading can take a toll on many and the sport has actually taken many lives, or has caused many serious injuries. People have worked hard to try and give the sport more a voice and to ensure that more safety regulations will be ensured. The family of a Massachusetts cheerleader, who died accidentally after she was kicked in the chest during a competition is now working with state law makers to make sure this tragedy doesn't happen again. "We hope her death will shed light on the inherent risks of cheerleading and we hope that additional safeguards are taken," said Lauren Chang's mother Nancy Chang, who doesn't believe safety, education or medical services have kept up with a sport that has become more daring during the years. Many people don't view cheerleading to be a dangerous sport and the right precaution after certain injuries are never taken to the extent that they should be. Lauren Chang is the one of many who have died from this sport and now action is being taken in hopes that new safety regulations will be put into place.
Here is the 911 call of Lauren Chang after the injury occurred.
