Video: Awful cheerleader fail – why you shouldn’t walk in front of the banner

Cheerleading isn’t always fun and games as this girl found out to her cost. Her very painful cost.

We’re not sure what exactly they teach you during cheerleading practice sessions. Presumably not standing in front of the football banner before the pent-up athletes burst onto the pitch would be one of the first things taught.

The video doesn’t make for easy viewing, while the players themselves don’t seem overly concerned and continue to make their way to the pitch.

A valuable lesson learnt you’d feel.
