5. About 20 years ago, a friend of mine invited me to a small county rodeo; her 9 y/o grandson

was just getting into bull riding and would be riding that night. I said, sure what the hell. We are both sitting there watch a grown man bull ride, he falls off the bull, the bull then twists around and starts using its head/skull to push on the bull riders chest while he is down on the ground. Well, obviously to me anyway, her grandson no longer wanted to ride that night after watching the guy get his chest crushed. My friend started trying to berate and shame her grandson into just jumping on a bulls back and ride! I told her dang, a grown ass man just got hurt in front of us and you cannot understand why your grandson doesn't want to ride now? No, no longer friends after that...

Rodeos can be as dangerous as any extreme sport
