You really need to see the biography on the bull "Bushwacker". PBR's World Champion Bull for 2013 and 2011. These critters are taught to "play". And this is one of the best. He has a personal handler/chauffer, his own veterinarian, his own Facebook page, etc. According to an article from 'American Cattlemen" this bull is valued at just under a million. CBS News ran piece on him early last August that's on Youtube, and he was featured in ESPN's 's July 2013 "Body Issue" magazine, the first time an animal had been featured. His rodeo earnings in just a few years is over a half million. And, to keep to the intent of this board, his hobby quickie donation is $3,000 per gal, and he has his own touring schedule (that includes Las Vegas).
So seriously, what you mention is simply not allowed in this type of show. These are very expensive business investments that are well taken care of.

Last, here's a compilation, that was posted after the KC show last year, of this athlete launching cowboys into the sky.
