For every sport, you can find a flaw. Football is concussions, soccer is concussions, cheerleading is catastrophic injuries (65% of all female high school catastrophic injuries), gymnastics is stress fractures, baseball is elbow and shoulder injuries, wrestling is the dangerous weight loss and the skin conditions. Should I go on?
Athletics are very much a personal and family decision. Is it worth the risk to you? I don't have an answer for you..
