a successful 8-second ride

Seems like too much risk for such a short thrill.

[HIDEK6]

It wasn’t illegal. It was what he did.

Why not offer your prayers for him?

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Yikes! I guess we could simulate that by taking a tumble in a commercial dryer!

Prayers up for this brave kid!

[1Old Pro]

It wasn’t illegal. It was what he did.

I know that, I'm simply expressing my feeling that the sport has a high amount of risk for what is in effect seconds of riding.

Whether Broderson will be able to return to rodeo is a big unknown this point

Torn artery, possible nerves torn out of spine, hematoma at the top of his spine, and his spinal plexus nerves have been severely damaged. I think he's done with rodeo.

Poor kid. I hope and pray he recovers. At least it sounds like he got out without brain injury which is a miracle.

He’ll be lookin’ for eight when they open that gate.................

[Alberta's Child]

But I'll be looking for eight
When they pull that gate,
And I hope that judge ain't blind.
Amarillo by morning
Amarillo's on my mind.

Best country song -- ever. :-)

NHRA drag cars take few seconds in competition. Some don’t choose to stay in bed all day and night.

FUN FACT: The World Champion Rodeo Roping of 1953 was actor Ben Johnson.

Broke back mountin?

[Presbyterian Reporter]

I have always wondered about the medical bills of rodeo cowboys when they are 50 to 80 years old.

[Red Badger]

I don’t think most of them make it that far.................

I still can’t figure out how his hand was stuck in the rigging ring. I get the rig slipping. I used to ride a lot and the saddle cinch would often slide no matter how tight I tied it. I’m still amazed to watch, say, Lucas McCain slowly mount his >200 pounds up and over and the saddle sticks like it’s glued in place.

[Red Badger]

He must have a small hand and the cinch twisted?...........

Just ran a search to see if this was posted yet..

Brutal.. (still have chills running through me after seeing that)

[Bikkuri]

I can’t even use my usual sense of humor with this one.
