Description
Two rodeo clowns drive off a brahma bull after it bucked a contestant from its back and kicking him in the head as he fell at the Roy Pioneer Rodeo in Roy, Washington, USA. Rodeo clowns spend a lot of time entertaining the crowds, but their primary responsibility is the safety of contestants by getting the bull to chase them instead of attacking the rider. The rider's injury was minor.

Awesome image. I have known some rodeo clowns and have a great deal of respect for what they do.

OMG. I wonder why they do not wear helmets. I like the colorful clowns who seem a tad bit worried (along with the rider).

The clowns do indeed worry. In fact, their main responsibility is to protect contestants by distracting bulls and broncos.
