Experts suggest improving the facilities where stunts are performed (for example, requiring floor mats and avoiding wet surfaces), limiting the participants who can perform more dangerous stunts to those with more experience, and requiring coaches to undergo specialized safety training. It's important to note that cheerleading is not considered a sport by some schools, and thus is not as heavily-regulated as other athletics. Many have suggested that, until cheerleading is sufficiently regulated by all schools, sufficient safety improvements cannot be made.
