CHEERLEADER'S INJURY PROMPTS BAN OF ALL DANGEROUS ROUTINES AT NCAA GAMES, INCLUDING PYRAMIDS
ST. LOUIS - The NCAA has temporarily banned all cheerleading stunts that pose any appreciable risk of serious injury, including the University of Missouri's spectacular pyramid routine, pictured here. The ban was implemented as a precaution after a Southern Illinois cheerleader plunged 15 feet and landed on her head during a men's championship basketball game earlier this year.
