Without a single injury? I say it's Impossible. Just like if you were to become a professional fisherman.....you are going to get hooked many times. It's all totally unavoidable.

People who sit at a desk for 8-10 hours a day still manage to injure themselves so I'd go with a no not possible

Going a whole rodeo career without an injury is similar in odds to going an entire professional fishing career without catching a single fish.

Rodeo cowboys are a bunch of pussies nowadays.... They wear freaking Kevlar jackets and hockey goalie masks. They should be willing to get their face smashed by Bodacious like in the good ole days if they were real cowboys.

Depends on the event. One of the three roughstock events, no way - unless the career is one ride.

The other events where injuries are less common it is possible, but unlikely. I would think that the least dangerous event would be team roping - as you never come off the horse. But you still run the risk of breaking a finger or something if you aren't holding the rope right.

Now one of the girls that races barrels, I could easily see one of them going thorough a career and not getting hurt.

I guess it would also depend on if you are asking about just in competition or in training as well.

Is barrel racing considered rodeo? If so, then possible for those pussies.

I will go one better and say itnis impossible for anyone who gets on any horse regularly to not be injured. Not just cowboys.

I was a professional fisherman for 2 year and spent prob 10 years averaging fishing prob 5 days/nights a week and never buried a hook in myself. Your analogy is wrong.

With today's 'bro country' stuff, id say it's possible.

The PBR is a lot of fun to go to. In a world that where competition with someone's couch is stiff, the PBR is a great product. Very high energy and fast paced, which is important for a sport that typically has a lot of down time.
