Question

Can a pregnant woman ride a mechanical bull?

Community Answer

She could, but it isn't a very good idea, as when she gets thrown off the bull she could hurt herself and/or her baby.

Question

Are all mechanical bulls the same when it comes to maneuvers?

Community Answer

No. There are a lot of different makes and models that can have different preset patterns installed. The operator can also control the bull manually in some cases.

Question

What kind of support could I wear for my hips to avoid injury?

Community Answer

An injury while falling off the bull is not really a concern as there is usually padding around the area, padded clothes or a jacket is best for that purpose. If you have prior injuries or medical conditions you're concerned about, talk to your doctor before riding the bull.

Question

Why its better to ride a mecanical bull with tight jeans?

Community Answer

The jeans become a second thicker skin to prevent chafing/sores. If there are wrinkles from loose jeans it could be uncomfortable, and if you have loose clothing it might get caught. They don't have to be jeans, but I do recommend tight-fitting pants.
