“Mandatory to Wear Helmet”: Terrifying Footage Shows Brutal Accident in Arena, Leaving Bull Riding Fans in Frenzy

It’s always exciting to see cowboys take on these amazing animals in the sport of bull riding. However, dealing with bulls weighing between 1,100 and 2,200 lbs isn’t always easy. Accidents like this may be catastrophic for bull riders, and even if they survive, they may be left unable to ride again. Early in 2023, Brazilian cowboy Joao Ricardo Vieira showed up to the PBR ZIPRECRUITER INVITATIONAL PRESENTED BY ARIAT in great spirits. However, his euphoric trip was cut short when the bull revealed the ugly side of bull riding.

PBR has updated its social media with a new video. The video rapidly became popular among bull riding enthusiasts because it demonstrated the extreme danger inherent in the sport. The occurrence also highlighted the significance of safety gear in extreme sports.

Didn’t go the way he wanted

The PBR-posted video features the Brazilian cowboy Joao Ricardo Vieira. At the PBR ZIPRECRUITER INVITATIONAL PRESENTED BY ARIAT, the cowboy didn’t bother with any protective gear before riding a bull. Cool Whip, a rank four bull notorious for his high bucking-off rate of 98 percent, was assigned to the rider. As soon as the metal chutes were removed, the bull charged toward the center of the arena in an attempt to throw off the Brazilian cowboy.

Something dreadful occurred when the rider was expertly controlling the bull, which had a high rate of bucking off. The bull immediately attempted a high leap, which resulted in the Brazilian cowboy tripping and striking his eyes on the bull’s horn. The cowboy was not wearing a helmet and was immediately removed from the arena by the rodeo crew for medical attention, so this was very nasty.

The video was displayed in such a manner that it immediately went viral online as concerned citizens voiced their opinions.

Bull riding fans united in the comment section

Everyone is aware that bull riding is a dangerous activity. The lack of safety equipment used by the Brazilian cowboy sparked widespread alarm among the populace.

Not wearing a helmet might look cool, but this user said, “I know I’ll catch Hell from the purists, but a helmet and face mask would have come in handy. I KNOW. I know. I know. Don’t come for me.” Another comment read, “Should be mandatory to wear helmet.”

As per this fan, PBR should be stricter; as they say, “When are they gonna mandate helmets!” The reputation of the bull is quite understandable, as this comment read, “Cool whip doesn’t hold back with those bucks.”

The Brazilian cowboy made it out of the rodeo unscathed, but he will not soon forget what he experienced when the next PBR season begins.
