A Texas bull rider is miraculously unhurt after getting on the wrong end of an angry bull, having sprung right back up after taking a scary kick to the face.
Bullriding is one of the most dangerous sports in the world and, should anything go wrong, a rider could even end up dead. That may have very well been the case for the man shown in the video below.
The bull was already pissed and was bucking before being let out of the gate as it was in no mood to be paraded before the Texas crowd simply for sport, tossing the rider off from go.
Folks were already in panic mode, screaming for the gate to be opened as the raging bull fell backward, pinning the rider against the chute with all its weight – it must have been well over 1,000 lbs.
The rider was still on his feet when the gate opened but his hand was under the rope so he attempted to get back on top of the animal, a regrettable move as he took a wicked kick square in the face as soon as he got his hand free and it looked like he might have a chance.
It appears bulls are more accurate than we thought as the kick was perfectly timed and took the poor guy right in the chin. He fell in a heap and should have been knocked out cold but, as you can see below, he got right back up.
