(CNN) -- Rodeo officials in Canada are examining safety procedures after a bull bucked its rider, jumped a steel security barrier and bolted into a crowd of spectators.

One woman was hospitalized after a runaway bull named Rewind trampled her at the Canadian Finals Rodeo in Edmonton, Alberta, Friday. Three others were injured and treated by paramedics at the event, according to a statement released by the Northlands Organization, which sponsored the event.

Video from CNN affiliate CTV shows a chaotic scene as spectators frantically scattered away from the bull. One woman gripped tightly to the security railing. An onlooker lifted a child out of her seat to protect her from the approaching animal.

These things happen. Rodeo is the most dangerous, awesome, honest sport on Earth. It is impossible to cheat in rodeo. It requires no money to be a rodeo star. Rodeo is the only sport that routinely results in paralysis and death for its contestants.

And even the audience is in danger.

The truest American sport.

What a completely disjointed video. I felt like I was flipping the channels.

And the bull wins.

The videographer was obviously panicked.
