While Bull Riding and the sport
of Rodeo doesn’t seem to be synonymous with SAFETY we do more and
more every day to protect the cowboy and the livestock used in
these sports. With the “Born To Buck” and ABBI programs in
place the livestock today is bigger and ranker than ever
before. As in NASCAR with the Safer Barrier and Hauns device in
place, as well as seat belts in our own private vehicles, the
safety advantages are indisputable. The same advantages apply
to the Bucking Chute Safety Pad or “Crash Pad” used by the PBR,
WNFR, CBR and other major rodeos around the country. Guilherme
Marchi and Valdiron De Oliveira both escaped possible serious
injury when they were thrown forward in the bucking chute
hitting the Crash Pad instead of the steel gate frame. These
events happened just weeks before the PBR World Finals and could
have radically changed the outcome of the world championship.
