I was just digging a spur about you getting too old! :wink: :wink: I know of a certain has-been bullrider who quit bouncing years ago. Now he just goes SPLAT! :roll: Ribs are tough on a fellar and take a while to heal. A vest would be some protection i'd guess. My Dad was riding a colt out at the ranch years ago. Grandpa had built a neat big metal gate using old steel wheels off of a dump rake. Dad had got off to go through the gate when the flyboys came blasting by in the F16's about 300 fett off the dirt. The roan filly Dad was starting jumped sideways into Dad and smashed him into the gate, which didn't give much. Dad's ribs gave quite a bit! He was out there alone and had planned to ride a horse and bring the rest of the string of 5 horses home with him when he came. He stayed an extra day hoping somebody would pop in for a visit and save him the 40 mile ride. No such luck. He was one hurtin' Padre when he made it home. Ended up with 4 broke on one side and two on the other. He still carries a grudge against roan horses! :wink: Get a vest or wrap yourself in Charmin!
Mind you - with Ty's I could be a turtle, pop my head out of the shoulders ..... after the dust settles. :?
