bull tramples woman during 'bubble ball' bull rodeo

This is the moment a bull gores and stamps on a woman trying out a bubble ball bull racing competition at a Utah rodeo.

In the competition, contestants have to race around the arena and return to the starting line to win $500.

The event starts when several people enter the bullring wearing inflatable bubbles, racing across the Dinosaur Roundup Rodeo arena in Vernal.

But the event soon gets dangerous when the organizers release a ferocious bull into the ring.

The audience gasps in horror as it immediately charges two of the racers and launches them across the arena.

In the first attack, the bull's sharp horns tear through the racer's bubble, bursting it before the bull veers around looking for its next victim.

'He popped the bubble! He popped the bubble!' the person filming the video is heard shouting.

Rodeo organizers soon escort him away from the menacing bull.

The beast then runs down a racer from behind, catapulting him across the sand and coming close to the camera.

But the bull's rampage isn't done yet. It thrashes around at the racers who have already reached the finish line, knocking down two of the bubble-wearing volunteers.

It turns its attention to a woman still struggling to stand after its last attack.

At first the event seems harmless enough, but in the horrifying moments that follow, the bull gores the woman again and again with its horns.

The beast continues stamping and deflating the bubble before trampling her.

The woman appeared to have sustained a puncture wound on the front right of her stomach afterwards, said one spectator named Emma.

'When we initially saw them come out we were all laughing saying we wished we’d signed up, since it just looked like they’d be racing in bubble balls,' said Emma, a spectator, who said she hadn't realized a bull would be involved.

'The goal was to run across the field and back in the ball, but about halfway through they let the bull out. All of our jaws dropped at this point. Almost immediately the bull started charging the different people running.'

'It was funny – until it wasn’t,' said Jared Hays, another spectator, adding: 'The lady at the end got the worst of it and I sure hope she’s okay. She could hardly get back up but finally did with the help of two men who came to her.'
