According to officials, a wild and unruly rodeo bull managed to escape its enclosure at a United States arena and make a run for it through a crowded concession area and into a nearby parking lot on Saturday night. The incident occurred at the 84th Sisters Rodeo in the charming city of Sisters, located in the state of Oregon. As the bull roamed around the arena, the crowd was caught up in the moment, singing along to Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" and holding up their cellphone flashlights in unison.
In the midst of all the excitement, the bull suddenly leaped over the fence, as captured in a video captured by a fan. Other videos posted online showed the bull charging through the concession area, causing chaos and knocking over a trash can, causing people to scatter in fear. The bull even managed to lift a person off the ground and toss them around before they were flung off its horns and onto the ground. The Sisters Rodeo Association released a statement the following day, confirming that three people were injured by the bull's rampage, two of whom had to be taken to the hospital.
Thankfully, rodeo professionals were able to contain the bull and secure it in a pen near the livestock holding area. Emergency services were called to the scene, including several ambulances and deputies from the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office. One person with non-life-threatening injuries was transported to the hospital, while a deputy also sustained minor injuries while responding to the incident. Meanwhile, Danielle Smithers, a rodeo fan who was in the audience that night, described the chaotic scene as she captured it on her phone.
Smithers recalled that as the bull named Party Bus was making its rounds in the ring with two riders on horseback, she was swaying along with the crowd and filming the spectacle with her flashlight on. However, when the bull suddenly made a break for it and headed straight for the fence, she quickly turned off her flashlight and started recording the action. She was able to capture the bull's second loop before it jumped over the fence and escaped.
The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) issued a statement regarding the incident, acknowledging that while rodeo is an entertaining sport, it can also pose some risks. They expressed their concern for those who were injured and wished them a speedy recovery. As for the Sisters Rodeo officials, they have not yet commented on whether an investigation will be conducted into the incident. The rodeo's final performance on Sunday proceeded as planned, and the city of Sisters, located just under 25 miles from Bend, Oregon, has returned to its peaceful and serene atmosphere.
