A popular cheerleader is fighting for her life after seriously injuring herself while attempting a dangerous stunt. Makayla Noble, 16, suffered severe spinal injuries while performing a tumbling exercise in a backyard without any safety equipment. The young gymnast, who has more than 50,000 followers on Instagram, was rushed to hospital and placed on life support. The accident left the teen “paralyzed from the chest down,” family friend Tiffany Smith said in an interview. The 16-year-old reportedly was not using a mat or other safety equipment when the accident occurred in a friend’s backyard. Makayla’s social media pages have many videos of the young athlete dancing. It was not confirmed if she was filming a video when the accident happened. The teen initially showed signs of recovery, but these hopes were short-lived. On Tuesday, Makayla was placed on a ventilator after her lungs collapsed. Doctors also fitted the 16-year-old cheerleader with a tracheotomy tube and a feeding tube, as she remains unable to eat or breathe on her own. “We were praying Makayla would pull through, but the chances now are very slim,” a family friend wrote on social media. A fundraiser hopes to raise over $250,000 USD in support of the star gymnast, who cheered competitively and had sponsorships from several sports brands. Supporters have already donated more than $160,000 USD to pay for medical expenses. The donations may also be used for the cheerleader’s funeral. Tumbling – a form of gymnastics where athletes use their bodies to flip, twist and jump – is incredibly dangerous if performed incorrectly. The sport is especially dangerous for girls around Makayla’s age, according to gymnastics coach Richard Long. “Makayla was an experienced athlete, but as a teenage girl going through puberty, her body was developing rapidly,” Long said in an interview. “A change in the weight distribution around her hips or chest may have thrown Makayla off balance and led to the accident,” Long said. Talking with local news, Smith said the incident was “a freak accident in somebody’s backyard.” “This was not a cheer practice. This wasn’t on a mat with a coach.” Makayla Noble attended Prosper High School in Texas. Fans at a recent football game held a moment of silence in honor of the cheerleader.
