Tragic death of 24-year-old bull rider at rodeo.

A 24-year-old bull rider tragically lost his life on Thursday after being thrown off a bull during an event in Wharton County, Texas. The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) expressed their condolences to the family, friends, and the rodeo community of Dylan Grant, who had been competing professionally for a year. Grant, a native of Laramie, Wyoming, had been participating in various ProRodeo and Xtreme Bulls events and had won over $15,000 in his career. The PRCA emphasized the rarity of fatal incidents in rodeo and assured that safety measures are under review to prevent similar occurrences. Grant's father described the incident as a "freak accident," highlighting his son's toughness and preparedness for the risks of bull riding. The rodeo community mourned the loss of the talented young cowboy and extended their love and prayers to Grant's loved ones. While another bull rider recently survived a serious injury, the tragedy serves as a reminder of the dangers and resilience within the sport.
