It was his first rodeo! 14-year-old trampled to death by bull
Denim Bradshaw, as the boy was called, wanted nothing more than to take part in a rodeo. But his first ride on a bull was also to be his last. Just seconds following the start, the bull threw the 14-year-old off his back and finally trampled the boy to death. Rescuers tried to save Denim and took him to a nearby hospital, but his injuries were too serious.
14-year-old dies at the rodeo – mother says goodbye online
Denim’s mother, Shannon Bowman, penned a suicide note on Facebook following her son’s death. “Last night was the longest night of my life!! My beautiful, handsome 14-year-old son went to the Lord! I’m trapped in a nightmare for the rest of my life,” reads Facebook, among other things. The mother finds consolation in the fact that her son was happy in the last moments of his much too short life.
Criticism of the rodeo organizer following a fatal accident: no emergency doctor on site?
“I never saw him happier than he was last night before he left. Denim baby you did it!! You did it! I’m so proud of your bravery and boldness! My little cowboy I will love and miss you so much and i know that God will take care of you.” But in her contribution, the mother also criticizes the organizers of the rodeo: “For the sake of all bullriding friends, there should really be a team of rescue workers on site in this sport! This ride was a bit too long.” Apparently, what is meant is her son’s journey to the nearest hospital in the ambulance.
The organizer, Rfollowing K. Rodeo, also published a statement online following the accident: “Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of bull rider Denim Bradshaw.” In order to participate in a rodeo in the USA, participants must sign a consent form. Minors must provide a notarized signature of a parent or legal guardian. The form explicitly alerts participants to the risk of injury or death.
