Woman Does Faceplant Off Mechanical Bull (Very Funny Video)

Thanks to movies like Urban Cowboy, Stir Crazy, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, and others, many are very familiar with what a mechanical bull is. What many may not realize is that the mechanical bull was being used as an entertainment attraction long before the "1980"s. Fact is there was an amusement park in New Jersey called Bertrand Island Amusement Park that used a mechanical bull in the 1930s they called the ""Ride 'Em Cowboy!"

The day man found out he could make machines do the work of beasts, we have been inventing machines to replace all kinds of animals, from the plow horse to the Brama bull. Now rodeo riders still compete on live raging bulls, but they don't train on them like they used to. No, long before the Bertrand Island Amusement Park purchased a mechanical bull, rodeo riders began experimenting with mechanical bulls to hone their skills of riding the bull for 8 seconds. Thanks to the the movie "Urban Cowboy" even women have tried to ride the bucking machine. The only difference is women tend to ride the bull a bit seductively like Debra Winger did, not with the macho bravado that John Travolta rode the bull to the prize money with.

So with that introduction, I would like to share with you a short video clip of a woman who should have stayed on the side watching others ride the mechanical bull. Oh yea, one more thing. The woman in the video was embarrassed to say the least, but she was not injured beyond her pride. Also, for those who may take offense to me posting this, because the woman is a bit overweight, I just want to say, GET OVER IT!

President Calvin Coolidge had a mechanical horse at the White House. He used it for exercise.

I hope you were not offended with me posting it, but the woman in the video was very approving of it getting out. She thought it was hilarious.

Maybe you are correct though, maybe she is hiding her embarrassment behind a facade of humor to feel accepted.
