I spent an enjoyable day, yesterday, at the Pritchard Rodeo.  Up in 
the hills, it was a modest 32 degrees!   (That's 90, in the shade, in 
the US of A.)

Bull riders wrap their hand around a rope, tied around the 
bull.  With that, and their legs, they try to hold on, for an 8 second ride.

Occasionally, however, when thrown, or when trying to dismount after 
a qualified ride, their hands get caught in the rope, and they cannot 
get free.  Being tied to a 1000kg raging bull, can be a terrifying 
and dangerous experience, which can often last much longer than the 
original 8 second ride!
