Terrible...

quote:

Elijah Clark Jr., 25, of Gonzales, was pronounced dead on arrival at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio late Wednesday.


quote:

Clark was being dragged around the ring when his left leg got stuck in a fence and was pulled off at the hip, said Guadalupe County Sheriff’s Deputy Tim Kolbe. Clark’s wife, Pam, witnessed the accident.

One of his legs got hung up in the rigging as he was rolling off the bull, Kolbe said. Before anyone could get to him, it (the other leg) got hung up in the fence.

Well, that's not how you get a leg up on the competition.

That's why I quit bull riding back in '94.

Like they say... You mess with the bull, you get your leg ripped off at the hip.

Here's a thought. Don't ride a bull.

But can you imagine the force that took. Wow.

I'm so glad that wasn't me. Leg ripped off? That sounds excruciating.

Jeez how much force does it take to rip a grown mans leg off at the hip?

This is the opposite of the "how I want to die" thread.
