    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.
