The intense and unpredictable nature of bull riding predisposes riders to several injuries. These include: Athletes may suffer concussions, fractures, and sprains from falling or being bucked off. Rapid and forceful bull movement may cause injuries to the back and neck. Directly contacting the bull’s horns or body may cause bruises, contusions, and lacerations. The above injuries make it crucial for riders to undergo thorough medical evaluation and rehabilitation.
