During the final event of the Sisters Rodeo on a Saturday night, a bull named Party Bus leaped into the crowd, causing injuries to three people.
Footage from the event captured the startling moment when the bull jumped over the fence during the rodeo, an unusual and uncommon occurrence in the history of the Sisters Rodeo.
Sisters Rodeo reported that the bull escaped the arena and made its way to the livestock pen, marking the first time such an incident had happened at their event. Even the bull’s owners were surprised as they had rarely seen this behavior during their career with rodeos.
After swift action by rodeo cattle professionals, the bull was safely contained, and the organizers issued an official statement assuring the safety of all attendees.
Two injured individuals were briefly hospitalized for minor injuries, and the final rodeo performance took place the following day without incident.
In a statement, the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association acknowledged the inherent risks of the sport and expressed sympathies for those affected by the incident.
The rodeo community came together to support Denim Bradshaw’s family, who tragically lost his life after a rodeo accident in North Carolina. This incident serves as a somber reminder of the risks associated with these events.
Similarly, past incidents such as the fatal accident of a 20-year-old woman at a Georgia rodeo and an incident involving a bull in Northern California injuring multiple people underscore the unpredictable nature of these competitions.
