Maybe it's because I'm from New Jersey, but I've never really understood the allure of the rodeo. Still, I've suffered enough bruises from riding mechanical bulls in my time that I can only imagine how painful getting thrown from a real life bull must be.
Turns out, getting thrown off a bull isn't the only way bull riders get hurt. Jake Hayworth was attempting to aid a veterinarian in treating a bull earlier this year when the animal got loose and took off. Hayworth chased after it and ended up breaking his collar bone and hurting his shoulder.
Kudos to Hayworth for trying to make sure his colleagues received proper health care, but maybe this should be a lesson that giant beasts aren't meant to be ridden by humans. Just a thought.
