Riding bulls is a dangerous sport. Fans of the boisterous sport keep going back to the stadium despite having seen gruesome situations because of the unpredictable nature of the sport. In bull riding, the cowboy has eight seconds to either ride the bull to victory or fall to the ground, where he will then have to contend with the infuriated bull, who may show no mercy and suffer serious or fatal damage. However, rodeo staffs are deployed if things go south in order to avert any and all dangers.

A horrifying video showing a cowboy being attacked by a bull in the arena after a buck off was recently released on social media by the official PBR account. However, the accidents were averted because of the quick action of the rodeo crew.

The bulls used in bull riding are given names and may win world titles. Although he is not yet a top-ranked PBR bull, the bucking element in Fast & Furious, an up-and-coming bull, makes him one of the most hazardous animals of his kind. The riders on Fast & Furious have an awfully low average score of 6, which just goes to show how powerful the unranked bull is. In addition to being one of the most fearsome bulls on the scene, the bull has a buck-off record of 93%, making his career exceptional.

Recent Instagram videos on PBR showcased Fast & Furious’ scary abilities. The footage shows clearly how the bull went berserk and attempted to buck off the unnamed cowboy as soon as the metal chutes were removed. In a matter of seconds, the bull has thrown the rider to the ground, but the real action has only just started as Fast & Furious rushes at the downed rider without showing any compassion. A member of the rodeo crew rushes to help the downed rider and even takes a whack from the animal. The bull leaves the present rodeo crew and attacks the cowboy as another rodeo staff member attempts to pick him up. While the cowboy makes his getaway, the rodeo staffs circle the agitated bull, who toys with them for a moment before returning to the metal chute.
