Learn from One Another California Appeals Court Affirms Cheerleader Assumed Risk in Case I nvolving Multiple Concussions A California state appeals court has affirmed a lower court's ruling that a cheerleader assumed the risk of injury when, after suffering a pair of head injuries, she returned to practice and suffered a concussion, leaving her with continuing neurological consequences. Central to the ruling was the appeals court's finding that cheer is inherently dangerous and that the defendants did not escalate the risk. Plaintiff Shelbie Stevens was a student at Azusa Pacific University (APU) when she decided to join the APU cheerleading team. She quickly suffered two head injuries during practices, which led her to consult with two physicians, including a doctor at the APU student health center. Both doctors diagnosed the second head injury as a concussion. The doctor at the student health center allegedly advised it would be safe for Stevens to return to physical activity after she was symptom free for a number of days.
