Actually, most stop bucking when the rider falls or jumps off.......and the majority also don't START bucking until the gate is opened. If it were such a terrible thing, how would you explain the bulls who jump out of the gate and do NOT buck? Just because they're having an off day wouldn't stop such a strap from bothering them...........if it did. Anyway, I've yet to see a bull, or a horse either, whose testicles were up under his belly.............which is where the strap goes!
