Human pyramid

For practical reasons, lighter people are often positioned higher in the formation and stronger, heavier people are located closer to the base.

Human pyramids are performed in various activities, including cheerleading and in circus acrobatics.

Cheerleaders may perform human pyramids with more difficult stunt sequences and gymnastics incorporated into routines.

In cheerleading, pyramids are multiple groups of stunts connected aerially by the flyers.

This connection may be made by simple linking of hands or having a multi-level pyramid.
