Chad Ochocinco didn’t last long in his bullriding debut Saturday night. He’s just lucky he didn’t get maimed during his adventure in bullriding on Saturday night.

Ochocinco was thrown off a bull named Deja Blu in 1.5 seconds. That’s 6.5 seconds short of what he needed to win $100,000 and a chance to re-name the bull. (He was considering naming the bull after his coach. The idea sounds familiar.)

Based on a replay we watched, the bull nearly stepped on Ochocinco after tossing him aside. (Yes, that’s Ochocinco on the ground in the picture.) The Bengals receiver quickly got up and jumped on a nearby gate to avoid further harm.

We give Ochocinco credit for following through on a dare that was a lot more dangerous than trying out for professional soccer. We’re looking forward to seeing what he’ll try next.

Versus will air the event Saturday night at 11 p.m. ET.
