A rodeo rider was trampled on by a bucking bull – called The Tsunami – during rodeo
Video footage shows the man astride the stocky beast as he prepares to start the rodeo.
The bull then starts bucking across the field and apparently hits the rider in the face several times with its head and horns.

The man seems dazed by the blows and falls from the animal onto the grass.
The bull continues bucking and buts the unconscious rider on the ground.
Several cowboys distract the animal before managing to drag the motionless man from the bullring.
Miraculously, the rider survived the attack at the El Regalo ranch in Nacajuca, Tabasco State, Mexico, on Sunday (21 Jul)..
Despite the scary scenes, the unnamed man did not sustain any serious injuries.
The bull-riding event was organised as part of the annual festival in honour of the patron saint James the Great.
The bull was previously ridden by another contestant who was also thrown to the ground.
Luckily, that individual was also uninjured, as reported by Need To Know.
One local said: “He was already sparked out before he fell.
“That’s a huge bull, it was obvious the guy would get hurt.”
Another said: “It’s art, applause for the bull. At least there was a good show and everyone had a lot of fun.”
William wrote: “I hope the bull is okay.”
Juan remarked: “Karma, stop bothering these animals.”
