Want To Plan The Best Company Picnic In New Jersey? Consider Renting A Mechanical Bull

By Hugh Hill


Now that it is April, the spring breeze is definitely in the air. This is the most opportune time to start initiating a corporate picnic. Do you know why? This is because there is so much to know about the best company picnic in New Jersey. Everyone knows that inflatables are a sure hit in a company picnic, how much more having a mechanical bull?

Please don't worry that mechanical bulls aren't safe. They have come a long way from the bull that was originally shown in "Urban Cowboy". Not only are mechanical bulls safe, but they're actually a lot more exciting than the original that was seen years ago. This new era of Mechanical Bulls (or bucking machines) aren't just for adults either. Children as young as five or six can safely enjoy a mechanical bull ride. But don't think that makes it too easy for that "wannabe' cowboy. He'll get a wild ride himself... and it's very likely he will be thrown off quicker than he thinks!

The concept to a safe mechanical bull ride is to first and foremost have a trained operator in every ride. The operator has to be taught and trained well for safety and mechanics of the rodeo as well as how to service the riders and ensure a great and enjoyable ride. A trained operator can provide an outstanding ride to just about anyone, but still continue to make sure everyone gets the same chance to ride the mechanical bull.

Before renting a mechanical bull, you may want to consider these practical tips. First, make sure that your bull is a mechanical bull multi-ride unit and not an old hydraulic unit. A multi-ride is much safer with some safety features as compared to the hydraulic bulls.

- Be sure to know that the mechanical bull has a trained operator at hand

- The mechanical bull ride should have a "safety switch". This switch will automatically shut the bull off immediately when the rider falls off. This is another reason not to use a hydraulic bull. Since hydraulic bulls can't stop on demand, many riders get some nice bruises when they get hit by a moving bull after taking a fall from the ride.

- There should be an inflatable mat to protect the riders when they fall.

- Last but not least... make sure your mechanical bull provider is FULLY insured by a reputable underwriter.

Most rodeo bull riders find pleasure in riding competitions, so having contests can stir up more fun. You might want to limit one ride per person to give the chance for everyone in experiencing a fun and challenging ride.
