The dangers of bull riding

Ty Murray, Austin Meier, Cody Lambert, J.B. Mauney, Luke Snyder, Shane Proctor, Jerome Davis, Ryan McConnel and Dr. Tandy Freeman talk about the dangers of riding bulls for a living.

[@chasehudson3705]

Stop over-analyzing. We do it because we love it. Some people play football, soccer, basketball, etc. We ride bulls. It wasn't something i was "born to do" it was something I attempted and found out i enjoyed doing. No, we aren't ignorant, no we don't have a death wish. We just enjoy our sport like everyone else.

I'm only a barrel racer, but Rodeo athletes are the toughest out there. Even people of my own kind, who have to hold their horse back for a sec, and then let them go as fast as they can.

Tougher than UFC or boxers? 8 seconds compared to blows by kicks and fists multiple times to the body and for 5-12 rounds? Clearly you are myopic.

@@CookInTech84 I mean you can die in a second with bull riding, every sport has its dangers.

I used to box before I became a a bull Rider let me be the first to tell you no they cannot compare in fact no other sport can . Unlike them we put the ultimate price on the line . OUR LIVES . But feel free to gather more opinions from those who actually box/mma or climb on the back of 1800-2000lbs bulls 🤠🤞🏼💯 @ydocc3374

[@nemochicky4697]

0:30 “If you ride bulls, you’re gonna get hurt.” Cody Lambert said it. It’s THE Cody Lambert that saw his friend, the famous Lane Frost, get killed by Taking Care of Business. 8 seconds is one of my favorite movies

[@AmericanRiver]

This video was well done. I don't personally ride bulls, but I find it really interesting and entertaining to watch.

[@michellesmith321]

I used to be a nursing professor & sustained a traumatic brain injury. It really gets in the way now! Pls don't let something bad happen to you before you wear a helmet as that might be too late. You may then have epilepsy & your body parts may not be as strong as before. That would keep you from bullriding, I would think. You are in an extremely dangerous sport. Pls take care of yourself & protect yourself!!!! Btw, I am not sure what hat down means but I guess it means you wear the cowboy hat?

[@wyobraska9876]

I'll say one thing.. I'll never ride without a helmet.. Rode my first bull last night.. My hand got hung up for a split second, then when I hit the ground the first stomp was on my helmet and when his foot slipped he hoof ran down my neck and hit my shoulder. Then second stomp was on my leg.. Ripped the pants, my leg and another area I don't want to talk about. After that the helmet aint coming off.

[@janegoldy6385]

There was someone this summer that could have died in a very similar way to Lane Frost. He had a helmet on though. In the end he was mostly okay, and his helmet was damaged to the point it may not be usable anymore. Atleast he had his life.

[@arbyarby3259]

But the cowboy hat & football helmet is what separates riders & jb mauney & earlier cowboys ....

[@rodolfogarcia1294]

A friend of mine was bull rider in 70 and 80's he told me, we didn't use protection equipment as today, but we trained very hard to be strong and good shape and also, technique. There were few partners with injuries. Today Is good and very important to use safety equipment due save lifes and avoid bad injuries, however, don't forget what I said, good technique and good shape. Ah, clowns must do their job.

I've always wanted to do a rodeo! Or go to one but I think I'll stick to my controlled horse riding with animals that have been trained to be ridden lol the closest thing I've had to a rodeo on a living thing was when my horse bucked but that's it but good luck with the next one

[@dragonrider71103]

Blake Bartkowski You see, Blake, have you ever thought about what the /bull/ is going through? People say these bulls were 'bred to buck' that's basically saying that they were born to be confined to a small space, to have this heavy human sit on its back while it's being shocked with electric poles, it's tail's getting pulled on, and getting kicked and poked with sharp Spurs, in this room filled with loud screaming humans. Then the creature is released and is forced to try and get this heavy weight off its back. Ever heard of pressure and release? Well now it's forced to kick and buck and kick in ways it's body shouldn't be able to handle. Could you imagine how must pain and stress is put onto this poor being? and all the while, you say you do this because 'its what you love to.' doesn't that seem selfish to you? just a bit of food for thought ;) you violent sicko

[@jdsedberry3074]

@@dragonrider71103 us being on their back is like us wearing a hat. These things weigh more than a horse and can take alot more weight than a 200lb human being. A working animal is a happy animal. They maybe in tight quarters on the shoot but they don't live like that. You should really do research before you comment because you look like an idiot

[@thegreatnoldini]

Their balance isn't thrown off because they aren't riding an animal that weights over 1500 pounds, be it a horse, or a bull. A helmet also impairs your vision to an extent, and I know from experience that you need all the vision you can get. Some choose to wear a helmet, some don't. It's their choice to ride with or without a helmet. Let them decide what they want to do.

[@jasonnester9514]

I'm sure bulls would be happier on a field with cows. As soon as the rider is off and the gate opens they always run away as quick as possible. Anyway there are far far far worse abuses on animals going on in the world I wouldn't focus on this.

When I started bull riding I trained with calves and used a spur that was different to pbr Spurs it was called Espuelas de gancho it has three metal like hooks that make the bull buck. It was fun and all but it's true every time you ride your facing death himself because your risking life, getting stomped, or killed. These guys make a good point! Long live el Jaripeo and Pbr

That is a very interesting view of 'stunts'. I totally agree that bullriding can be viewed similarly, they can control the level of injury to which they are exposed by using a helmet.

[@CrystalPuppy100]

@TheCassik : That was Pistol Robinson vs. Shepherd Hills Trapper. That was at last year Wichita event I do believe if memory serves me right. Bull kicked him right into the chutes man. Luckily he was able to walk away being sore but with no injuries really to speak of.

[@michellesmith321]

I am sure that bullriding is more dangerous than being a stunt man (with all due respect) as stunts has a planned outcome but, no one can control for the wild bull - which makes bullriding more dangerous.

Hi compiler76... sorry I didn't catch what you mean. Do you agree with me that the PBR should do more for the bullriders? Afterall, the PBR wouldn't be making millions of dollars per year if it weren't for them... and then they have life long injuries.

Big difference buddy. NFL hid issues that the players were having. Denied that brain injuries were from the NFL play.

[@thegreatnoldini]

Ice Hockey isn't nearly as intense or as precise as riding Bareback Horses, Saddle Broncs, and Bulls. Every little thing that you wear, or do can change the outcome of a ride. Less is more. People die in Rodeo, I've never heard of a single death in Hockey. The less you have on you bogging you down, the better off you'll be. The protective vest is really all you need.

[@michaelspencer7970]

It happened to me. I had to stop. The worst day of my life. I miss riding. I would love to ride again and die in the area. Rather than die from regret. Lord please let me die a proud cowboy 🤠

[@michellesmith321]

IMO, people make fun of these athletes because of what Mauney says in this video. He does come off as not being the sharpest tack. Giving him the benefit of the doubt; his bravodo must be getting the better of him. One of his statement 'you always want to walk out' is contrary to the Standard of Care in medicine. Injuries including broken legs should not be moved or walked on because the broken bone tears capilliaries or worse, causing more bleeding... which can result in the loss of extremity.
