Dangers at a Rodeo

Most of the draw of a rodeo is being able to see brave men and women perform stunts and feats in the arena with a bucking bronco or a raging bull. There will clearly be danger present when an untamed animal is involved but there should never be any “unreasonable danger.” When the rights steps are taken, such as training staff members, putting up reinforced barricades, and retaining a certain degree of control over the animal, a rodeo can be quite safe for spectators and performers alike. Allowing safety standards to slip, however, will cause dangers that lead to accidents and serious injuries.

Medical staff should always be near the arena to assist anyone who is injured at a rodeo. If they are not, the injury could worsen dramatically and the rodeo organizer could be found completely liable for the resulting damages.
