Bulls weigh about a ton. That mass going one way and a really strong (must have been welded metal) fence that didn't give.

The major artery and vein that were severed meant he never had a chance.

Cause we never saw it happen before. Maybe it wasn’t like they said it was.

I was talking to a first responder a few years back, he had gone to a call where a fellow on a motorcycle hit a mailbox that someone had (he reckoned) gotten tired of replacing, and just cemented a round metal pole in the ground as the leg. They said the guy was bleeding pretty bad, assumed he had cut the artery in his leg, so they cut the leg of his pants off to get to it and the guy’s leg was just there because the pants were keeping it there. Slid right out when they pulled on it. Must have been boot cut, because skinny jeans would’ve just been stuck in there I bet.

Apparently a bit less than a full grown, pissed off bull can generate.

What a horrible way to lose a limb, not that there are many nice ways mind you. For the guys sake, I would hope he was at least unconscious from being dragged before losing his leg.
