So, I just read an article that cites the journal Pediatrics with the following useful bit of information:
In the years 1990 through 2002, 208,800 people between the ages 5 to 18, inclusive, were sustained cheerleading-related injuries.
I can’t help but wonder, given the phrase “cheerleading-related,” if that means the stat includes folks who may have been caught in cheerleader crossfire or some such.
Anyway, what random stats have you got to share with the class today?
