abc.net.au/news/warwick-rodeo-death-queensland-bullrider/101820032A man has died at a rodeo in the Southern Downs after he fell from the bull he was riding and was kicked by the animal's back legs.
The 25-year-old from New South Wales was competing in the novice bull-riding competition at the Warwick New Year's Eve Show at about 8pm on Saturday. Police and paramedics said he was taken to Warwick Hospital with serious chest injuries, where he died."He was bucked off his bull about halfway through the ride and the bull's back feet came in contact with the competitor," he said.
"As far as protective equipment, he was wearing a helmet and a protective vest – he was taking all the precautions. "But they are obviously to help limit any injury, it can't obviously prevent everything from happening.""Novice bull-riding is actually the entry-level division," he said.
