Easily the most dangerous event in rodeo is bull riding. This is so because of the size and ferocity of the adversary. A rodeo bull can sometimes weigh over 2,500 pounds (1,130 kg) and nearly always weighs at least a ton. The most common bull used in rodeo is the Brahma, ... No spurring or marking is required of the cowboy in bull riding. He holds on to a bull-rope that encircles the animal's barrel and then is wrapped around the cowboy's hand. The only requirement is that the cowboy not touch anything with his free hand and that he stay aboard for the 10-second ride. 2, record 2, English, - bull%20riding

On ne peut guère tenir compte de la nature de la dysphonie qui se rencontre dans la quasi-totalité des affections organiques ou fonctionnelles du larynx. La discussion porte sur l'immobilité d’une corde découverte lors de l'endoscopie. On éliminera ainsi facilement l'aphonie pithiatique. L'anamnèse permet de retrouver souvent un traumatisme émotionnel, un stress, un conflit affectif, une situation dépressive. L'abolition de la voix chuchotée et de la toux volontaire contraste avec la parfaite conservation de la mobilité laryngée lors de l'inspiration, alors que l'adduction est manifeste lors des efforts de toux. 1, record 3, French, - voix%20chuchot%C3%A9e
