This wreck happened in the bareback bronc riding. Below: Sometimes, not all bronc riding wrecks are, well, wrecks.

This photo was taken from up in the bleachers, which is what we're guessing caused the illusion of a hopeless nosedive. We have bareback bronc riding pictures. Roughstock events also include saddle bronc riding and bull riding.

This bronc actually landed this jump, sprang up high, then stumbled to toss the bronc rider over his head (see the next photo).

Even successful rides can end in a wreck. Bareback bronc riding is a roughstock event in rodeo.
