Here are five basic stunting safety tips from the American Association of Cheerleading Coaches and Administrators. Tip one, follow safety progressions and take your time. Make sure that your lead-up skills are solid before you try harder skills. It's like learning how to walk before you try to run.

Tip two, make sure that you are using spotters that are trained in how to catch. Tip three, don't settle for "Well, we got it up there," as success as a sign that you're ready for harder stunts. Focus on using perfect technique every time. Tip four, practice safe landing techniques before you perform a stunt, like bending and absorbing when you land and catch.
