[Owensboro Times] Spectators attending the 2019 "Bull Bash!" held at the Owensboro Sportscenter Saturday night witnessed an event that surprised and shocked many as two men were thrown into the air by a bull during a game titled "Cowboy Pinball." Another man was seen being aggressively pinned against a wall during the event by the same bull.According to witnesses, the "Cowboy Pinball" game required participants to stand in circles that were drawn for each of the 23 volunteers who signed a waiver beforehand, which warned them of potential injuries, accidents and even death, according to officials who run the event. SEBRA ‐ the company who runs the Bull Bash across the country ‐ refused to share a copy of the waiver with Owensboro Times when one was requested.
Laura Alexander, general manager of the Owensboro Convention Center and Owensboro Sportscenter, said the Sportscenter staff was unaware that the event’s producers were playing this game until it was announced Saturday night.
