A couple of local guys were working to get the neighbors bull out of their pasture.
They roped the bull and were trying to drag him into a trailer. One guy was on a horse with the rope through the trailer and the other was behind the bull giving him an incentive to get into the trailer.
The bull wouldn't go - guess he was a fair sized one. Anyway, the horse pulling on the bull got tired and fell. The rider was drug under him and the bull got plumb away. The rider was severely injured and was in critical condition for some time with a whole bunch of broken ribs and other internal injuries. They kept him alive with a respirator. He is now able to talk and gave the above version of what happened.
I don't know what kind of insurance they had, if any. If none, I imagine they will lose everything under the weight of the hospital bills.
I guess I would have gotten the oldest and ugliest pickup and chased the bull where ever I wanted him to go.
