The rodeo tried to put up a struggle, but he lost his balance too quickly. Several bullfighters rushed in to aid the young man and tried to distract the bull. However, the bull was still galloping in a mad frenzy. The rider hit the ground hard and got crushed by the bull’s hind legs before rolling to safety. The bull’s legs got the rodeo in the chest and the head. In fact, the impact of the stomp was so hard that the rider’s helmet came off his head. This utterly terrified the spectators in the stands. PBR fans reacted to the small but scary clip of the accident while fans displayed horror, shock, and sympathy for the unfortunate rider.
