In other Hells Angels news:
A bunch of the Angels went to a rodeo and some of them volunteered to participate in the bull riding. Accidents ensued.
- Before the mood could build past a roused crowd and a few introductory bass thumps from Black Sabbaths Crazy Train, the H&B Trading Post chute opened, the bull bucked, Wild Willy fell, and his left arm buckled. Broken. Badly. The crowds applause died quickly as Wild Willy, shaking from shock, kneeled back down on the dirt and waited for a stretcher to take him to the EMS station, located next to the rodeo clowns changing room. An ambulance later took him to West Park Hospital.
- Jose G. took a nasty spill during his ride, in which he dislocated his hip from a vertebra.
One emergency worker had this comment:
“The helmet protects the skull that protects the brain that decided to ride a bull”
