  1. Isn’t danger the entire appeal of rodeo? My cousins were bullriders. One got stepped in the face and had to have his skull wired back together. He was never the same afterward.

  2. All bucking stock events are dangerous. Saw a bullrider killed in Spokane at the Diamond Spur Rodeo many years ago when the bull went head-over-hoof and landed on the guy. Broke his neck.

    Sad. May the Lord Bless and Keep this young man.

  3. Injury is common and deaths do happen. Bull riding and relay are a couple sports my kids and I follow. I think relay may be more dangerous. As for the bulls being angry, I’ve been around angry bulls and it’s been very rare that rodeo bulls have displayed anger. Lane Frost died at Frontier Days after being roughed up by a bull, this kid Dylan Grant was stepped on, Mason Lowe was stepped on about five years ago. It’s a dangerous sport. Mountain racing is pretty dangerous too.

  4. People often forget that rodeo is a very dangerous sport. The bronc wants to get you off his back. That can be dangerous. The bull wants to get you off his back…so he can get at you. That can be, and sometimes is, fatal.
