Tamworth bull rider Bradie Gray regains consciousness after being stomped by bull at Wyoming rodeo

A bull rider from NSW is in a serious but improving condition after a bull threw him off and stomped on his chest while he was competing in a rodeo in the United States.

Bradie Gray, who hails from Tamworth, has suffered broken ribs, a bruised aorta and collapsed lungs after the incident at Wyoming’s College National Finals Rodeo.

The 20-year-old had no pulse when he arrived at the Wyoming Medical Centre and was placed in a medically induced coma and on a ventilator.

Gray was bucked off by a bull named Levi the Boss who then stood on his chest.

Gray was able to stand up and was pulled into a bucking chute where he was put on a backboard and taken by ambulance to the hospital.

The College National Finals Rodeo said Gray had undergone two surgeries and his condition was now stable.
