Yikes! I enjoy watching bull riding the few chances I get to see it. That one is scary for sure. Rolling over would make it impossible to ride, and I suspect the cowboy would get another chance (and another bull) for a ride.

Too much of the falling during a ride and the bull will be history. Of course, if no one is still astride him when he rolls, he's already scored his points toward top bull.

I couldn't watch the video, it kept crashing, but I can imagine how scary Bandito is.
Bull riding is my least favorite rodeo event. It makes my stomach churn when the bulls toss a cowboy then go after him.
I have noticed at the last few rodeos I've been to that more bull riders are wearing helmets and protective vests. That shows a little more thought, but then they're still climbing aboard a powder keg.:\

@thistlebloom that bull flipped backwards, threw himself in the air and came down on his side, he bucked worse than any bull I have ever seen. And when the cowboys came off, he went after them with a vengeance.

American bull riders are crazy. Brazilian bull riders have taken it to a whole 'nother level of crazy.
Probably South American riders. Many of the top bull riders are from Argentina. Whole 'nother level of crazy, indeed.

I wonder if, like bull fighting used to be, riding bulls is one way to rise above poverty. That would make it a viable choice for many young men.

Men. I wonder when I'll see my first woman bull rider?
