The TERRIFYING Last Minutes of Professional Bullrider Amadeu Silva
Ойын-сауық
The crowd's roar filled the rodeo arena as the chutes swung open and the bull exploded out, spinning and kicking frantically. Sitting atop 1500 pounds of raging muscle and sinew was a lean, focused cowboy, his gloved hand clenched tight on the bull rope. Amadeu Campos Silva held on for dear life, his lithe body absorbing the bone-jarring bucks and gyrations of the massive beast beneath him. Eight seconds stretched into an eternity as man and bull battled, the crowd screaming encouragement. With a final mighty kick, the bull sent Silva, but not before he reached back and grabbed a fistful of fur - he had made the buzzer. The crowd went wild as Silva jumped to his feet, fist pumping triumphantly. This was Silva's element, and he was born to be here.
Until one fateful day in 2021, when the cheers of the crowd turned to silent gasps of horror. What happened to this professional bull rider during a freak accident?
Amadeu Campos Silva stepped up the metal rails and eased down into the bucking chute, a familiar ritual he had done countless times before. At just 22 years old, Amadeu was already an accomplished bull rider, pursuing his dreams on the professional rodeo circuits across Brazil and the United States. As he situated himself atop the bull named Classic Man, Amadeu had no way of knowing this ride on August 29th, 2021 would be his last.

So tragic & heroic. He could not enjoy his youth. This sport provided his family. A beautiful tribute to a young man we never heard of. Thank you
I grew up in south Alabama on a cattle farm in the 50s and 60s. It was my dream to be a national championship bull rider. So I started with young steers and bulls when I was 14. It's like any other sports. You love it, and it gets in your blood. By the time I was 19, I was competing in rodeos doing saddle bronc and bull riding all over America. By the time I was in my mid-20s, I was very competitive and on my way to the PRCA semi-nationals. But getting there, I had just about ever bone broken in my body. And when I was 29, I had my back broken for the 3rd time. The doctors told me that one more ride would probably paralyze me. So my dream never came true. And I'm in my mid-70s now and live with a lot of pain every day from those rodeo riding days. Someone asked me not long ago. If I had it all over to do again, would I climb on the back of a bull again? I looked at him and said, "absolutely ".😊

Ain’t that much love in all the world, as far as I’m concerned glad you had so much fun.
He died doing what he Loved, No One Can Take That From Him 💖
Brilliantly put together tribute to a fine young man, respect brother . RIP Amadeu ❤❤
The video they played over and over with the bull coming down with his back feet on the guys chest. That is Ty Murray on the bull that accident happened in the early 2000. The other rider who went flying and hit the bulls head was Jess Lockwood. Whoever put this video together used videos and wrecks of other riders and not the boy who actually passed away. Good tribute but very misleading for people who do not know anything about the sport and or who's in it.

RIP. Cowboy. Thank you for gracing us if only for a short while. Your Grit Your Dreams Live with us all. Forever.
It's sad but he wasn't the first man to die riding bulls and he won't be the last. The horns will beat up the cowboy but it's the hooves that cause the deaths. The ribs break and pierce the heart and that is the end of the trail. There are no atheists in a bucking chute and God has a special place in his heart for rough stock riders. Godspeed Amadeu, you're riding with the Lord now.

It’s not just the hooves, look at Lane Frost, he was horned while he was on the ground. It broke his ribs and it pierced his heart. That’s why Tuff made the protective vest and why most bull riders where them now, so they have some type of protection against the horns.
There are never words to describe the grief felt for the lose of young lives.
I loved this stuff rode saddle bronc for 7 years wile serving as a US Marine its a drung..
To live in our Hearts is Not to Die! Prayers for all you Cowboys and The Show must go on!
Lane Frost was also a VERY young bull rider!! RIP Lane I grew up watching Lane, Tough, Cody, etc I am no expert but he died doing something he loved❤❤❤ and if something happens to me...riding horses etc. My baby is not at fault and not to be put down. Im ust a country girl. I'm 51 now and know that bulls, horses, even our cute litttle pups can be unpredictable and do the unthinkable.

JB is one of the greatest bull riders ever to be. But there is no one single bull rider ever. But there are grates and Mooney is one of them.
I miss the days when videos were short and to the point!
I pray for his blood and rodeo family. May Christ's love be their strength and The Blessed Mother keep him and them in her prayers.
Though his life was way to short, He must have lived a hundred years of happiness in that short time with pride doing what he loved. RIP A son to be very proud of!!!
A family who loves money will tirelessly push their child to be a world champion, Parents who love their children will forbid it.

Congrats! You have the dumbest comment on this video. You obviously have no idea how much dedication, commitment and love that professional bull riders or any rough stock rider, for the sport. The men on the PBR circuit are not men that are doing it because their parents made them. These men are professionals who constantly train, diet and practice the majority of the year to prepare and stay in shape. The caliber of these bulls are not that of the little hometown rodeos, high school and college rodeo teams... A person whose being forced to ride bulls by their parents and hate the sport, will not be in the PBR. I competed over 30 years, which includes high school and college rodeo teams, and I can not remember anyone being there because mommy and daddy forced them to rise bulls...not for sure how many rodeos you have competed in, but mommy and daddy pushing their child to ride bulls will not get them anywhere near financially secure, quite the opposite, the money won at a rodeo is used to get you to the next one and to pay your entry fees...your comment is ridiculous and shows that you are the type of person who blames everyone else for things that shouldn't of happened .... Mommy made me do it ....

That's a pretty rough comment. Remember that his father was also a bull rider. I doubt seriously that Dad did very much pushing. He wouldn't have needed to. Bull riding was in Amadeau's blood. There's a comment by a former bull rider that I just read here who was told that if he rode again he could be paralyzed. He stopped riding. At age 51, when asked if he would do it again, he replied, "Absolutely." This young man died doing what he loved. He wasn't going to stop until he met his goal and probably would have continued afterward as well. Dad was not to blame.

Very sad ending to a young life, but it was the life that Amadeu chose, and he surely knew of the dangers of the sport. May he RIP. Not to be disrespectful, but bull riding proves there is a fine line between bravery and stupidity.

It’s a backward sport for backward folks.
This is such a tragic story, he passed away so young, and now his Family has to bare the loss of their young Son, this is a horrible story of a young man , and an upcoming professional bull riding career, ending way too soon, I’m sending prayers to his family, I can’t imagine what they are going threw🙏🙏🙏🙏one day they will be together with their Son, and he will be whole again, and they will have him back the way he was , before this terrible accident happened 🤗🤗❤️❤️👍👍
You live by the sword you accept to fie by the sword. Poor bull
Rest in peace, you're hero to many.
My heart goes out to his family, bull riders are a special bread. They put their lives on the line every time they mount a bull. I haven't watched much PBR since Tuff and Ty retired
Rest in peace partner. The world is a lesser place without you.
Rip, You Riders will meet back up with your Bulls someday ❤🙏🙏🙏
Rest in peace bullrider❤
Cowboys love doing what they do. This cowboy wanted to help his whole family buy a ranch❤. What a wonderful person he was. May this cowboy be remembered for years as a great inspiration to all. God bless his family members. May he rest in the heavens where he can ride all he wants with other bull riders who have passed. God bless him ❤❤❤
R.I.P. champ continue riding those beast in heaven above
Heart breaking story...
RIP, young man
They knew the risks they were taking
Prayers for the family
Although thrilling to watch,it is such a dangerous sport,man!those huge animals sure can rock and roll!
And the bull won!
Extremely Sad... With his previous injuries.. He waa given a choice.. Often God speaks to us ..when we need to make a change...need to listen... He waa so young...he could have changed. .... What is our life...when it is no more... His previous injuries were serious...a human body can take so much... I am.sad for him and his family's loss.. Think he made a bad choice...

Well, you annoy the beast, this is what happens.

I won't even watch this and will only say that whoever gets on the back of a bull, buffalo, elephant or rhinoceros is CRAZY. Just plain crazy!
Gone too young, but danger is part of the sport. So is a weirdly high pain threshold. RIP I remember the shoe shaped bruises on my chest from slipping under my horse; but getting the wind knocked out of me, and being slobbered on by the horse while I lay prone I got away amazingly lucky. Bless him, he tried not to put his feet down so hard. That bull professionally doesn't care.
R.I.P Amadeu 💐
RIP. This video was kinda drawn out
And the Darwin Award goes to...

You are in my❤ prayers

So sad when fine young men die at the hands of the beast
He die doing wath he love , RIP brother
This reminds me of Laine Frost
Poor animals
Damn🙏🏼❤️😢
It would be a dream to see one of the old rodeos. Back when you didn't wear so much safety shit. Rodeo ain't what it was.
Was it ever deemed that anyone should ride a bull ???

Will a 2000 pound bull hurt U ?😮
Thats what happens when you take your life for fun , thats why their called wild animals and showed us all what they can do
This is really sad
A hispanic lane frost !
Torturing the bull so humans can have their fun. I have no compassion for those people, same for the toreros in Spain.
😢so sad and this day Aug 29 is my daughter's birthday
Poor animals.
Gnarly😎
Freak accident? I'm pretty sure the bull would disagree. I imagine the bull would say "nailed it"
Poor guy...
if you are going to blur out the incident, then why even post it.

It's not just riding bulls. I've ridden and trained horses a large part of my life. Handled brood mares and breeding stallions and trained the younsters. I've been hit head on by a running horse, had mt knees slammed into fence posts ect. In my 50s i was bucked off and broke most of my ribs on oneside. I'm 71 now and had bad knees and other aches and pains but still in good health. My worst injury had nothing to do with rodeo or horses. I fell 2 years ago and shattered my kneecap. Was nonweight bearing for 4 months and 3 months of pt. It is the true meaning of cowboy up. Most of us have a high pain threshold and it is just a way of life.

Are there no laws ruling over whether a rider is fit enough to carry on ?
They tie the bulls nuts up to make him buck? On a side note, how the heck did they come up with this sport?
Lane Frost. Thats all I have to say about this..
😢😢😢😢😢
Il-y-a une autre façon de combattre le taureau,dans un autre genre de danger mais ici, c'est l'habit de lumière, dans une arène, avec une cape, faire des passes, et une épée recourbée pour en finir avec le taureau (Espagne, Amérique latine, et aussi le sud de France)
So sad
Take a shot every time he says his name
They should ban 🚫 this sport! 💀
Lane frost 1989 30 years before
Anybody know if he has a sister?
I'm sorry, I mean no disrespect to the family. But the narrator said "if there was ever an inspirational bullrider story of the American dream". That slot was filled on July 30, 1989 by a American Bullrider named Lane Frost. So maybe change that a Brazilian dream?? And no, I'm not racist. But right is right.
Thumbs down for such a confusing video.
In my day, as a cattleman, I have been stomped, hooked, and kicked. You could not pay me to tie myself to a bull.
