俄亥俄骑牛手韦恩斯维尔竞技场坠牛身亡：戴护具仍受致命胸伤
俄亥俄州骑牛手杰森·布莱克·塞勒现年35岁，10月24日晚在韦恩斯维尔的福克斯霍洛马场骑牛竞技中从牛背上摔下，随后被牛踩踏或踢中，胸部受致命伤身亡。
据《纽约邮报》10月25日援引WXIX电视台报道，塞勒尽管佩戴了护胸装备，仍未能幸免。竞技主办方在社交媒体上发文说：“我们对昨晚在福克斯霍洛竞技场失去一位骑牛手兄弟深感心碎，言语无法表达我们的悲伤，我们的心与他的家人、朋友以及所有受此悲剧影响的人同在。”
骑牛被认为是美国最危险的体育项目之一，此前有研究指出，骑牛手的致命事故大约每2.5万次骑乘发生一次。塞勒的去世再次引发人们对这项运动安全防护的关注：即便佩戴护具，骑手在落马后仍面临被重达上千磅的牛踩踏的风险。目前主办方未公布更多细节，家属与竞技圈正在悼念这位骑手。

Ohio Bull Rider Killed in Fall at Waynesville Rodeo: Fatal Chest Injuries Despite Protective Vest
Jason Blake Saylor, a 35-year-old bull rider from Ohio, died on the evening of October 24 after falling from a bull during a rodeo at Fox Hollow Rodeo in Waynesville and then being stomped or kicked by the animal, suffering fatal chest injuries.
According to an October 25 report by the New York Post citing WXIX television, Saylor was wearing a protective chest vest but could not be saved. The rodeo organizer posted on social media: "We are heartbroken over losing a bull rider brother last night at Fox Hollow Rodeo. Words cannot express our sorrow, and our hearts are with his family, friends and everyone affected by this tragedy."
Bull riding is considered one of the most dangerous sports in America; earlier research has put the rate of fatal incidents at roughly one per 25,000 rides. Saylor's death has again drawn attention to safety in the sport: even wearing protective gear, a fallen rider faces the risk of being trampled by a bull weighing more than a thousand pounds. Organizers have not released further details, and the family and the rodeo community are mourning the rider.
