mechanical bull

Motorized bucking ride

A mechanical bull is a motorized device shaped like a bull that riders attempt to stay mounted on while it bucks and spins.

Found at bars, fairs, and parties, it simulates rodeo bull riding as entertainment.

The operator controls speed and intensity, typically increasing difficulty until the rider is thrown onto surrounding padding: She lasted eight seconds on the mechanical bull.
