I'm not gonna get into whether it's cruel, or whether the bullrider is a bad person or anything like that... but I will say that I do not feel sorry for him or his family.
It's not bullriding specifically... it's anything.
A man dies from cancer after years and years of smoking. I don' feel bad for him, unless he's an illiterate retard who can't read the fuckin cigarette pack.
A man dies race car driving, a man dies skydiving, a man dies from downhill mountain biking, and man dies from bullriding... it's all the same. You got yourself into that mess. Odds are his family supported him in his bullriding so I'm not gonna pretend to be sad over it. He knew the dangers. Now he's dead. Fuck him.
Wow, I agree with you totally.
