This is the shocking moment a rodeo rider is crushed to death by a bucking bull when the animal falls on top of him before tossing him around like a rag doll.

Jason Gustavo Artavia Vasquez was killed in Upala in the western Costa Rican province of Alajuela.

In disturbing footage, the man is seen desperately trying to cling on to the bull as it bucks and jumps in the arena.

But the muscular animal loses its balance and falls on its side, crushing the rider and trapping him underneath its heavy body.

The bull scrambles to its feet, carrying Vasquez with it, tossing the unconscious mounted rider around like a rag doll.

After a few seconds the bull then throws Vasquez off its back and the 28-year-old rider lands motionless on the floor in a sickening crash. 

While the bull is distracted, dozens of men rush to the rider’s aid and pull him clear of the arena.

Red Cross worker Marina Villalobos said that Artavia Vasquez was collected by an ambulance in a critical condition. 

But the rider died shortly after being admitted to the Hospital Enrique Baltodano.

One viewer, going by the name AlVargas, commented: ‘Well, keep on promoting these stupid events then!’

RobertoVargas said: ‘Once again, Christians aligned with big business promote sick sports under the label ‘tradition’. What would pro-lifers say?’

DonnieWentz wrote: ‘It is high time we banned ‘entertainment’ based on animal abuse that also proves dangerous to humans. 

‘It is a real shame that big TV networks promote this barbarism.’
