Employee killed when struck by metal gate at rodeo

At about 9:00 a.m. on February 28, 1993, at the Josephine County Fairground, Employee #1, a stock handler, was helping move stock to and from holding pens for the rodeo. A bull, just ridden in the arena, was being sent back for another ride because of stumbling during the previous ride. The bull broke through the door that went to the outside holding pens, but did not enter a pen that was opened for him. The bull instead broke a small chain that was holding a double swing iron gate and went into another pen. At the back of this pen was another double swing gate, which was tied with hay string. The bull hit this gate close to the hinges, causing it to swing out fast and strike Employee #1 in the head. Thrown about 9 ft through the air, Employee #1 landed on asphalt. He was transported to the Rogue Valley Medical Center in Medford, OR. Employee #1 was pronounced brain dead that afternoon and died at 8:30 p.m.
