I would stay clear of bulls.

As for mechanical bulls, my son is great on these. He is the only one I have ever seen stay on the whole ride.
Ouch! I have been around many bulls and never had one charge at me. I bet that was horrifying! Even "small" bulls are big, I would be terrified of them now.

That is unfortunate what happened to that person, not to sound insensitive but I've seen people die in car crashes that hasn't stopped me from riding or driving a car.

How you deal with your fear is up to you and I'm not saying you should or should not get over it, everyone is afraid of something.

I've never ridden a real bull or a mechanical one. I rode a milking cow though and tried to make it go wild but it was too calm. I haven't got the courage yet to ride a real bull because I'm scared of the fall.

I did rode a bull when I was still a teenager. I visited a friend of mine who has a farm. They have a bull and he dared me to ride it. To keep my pride, I did ride it but I think I lasted seconds only. I was thrown away from the bull and luckily I landed on my butt but it was still painful.
