Extreme sports have an undeniable allure that attracts athletes and spectators alike. However, behind the excitement lies the risk of sustaining injuries. Being a self-proclaimed adrenaline junkie, Cody Johnson subjected himself to danger while bull riding. It's no secret that bull riding comes with a physical cost, which Johnson was well aware of. "It doesn't matter if you're one of those guys with a 90% ride rate or a 50% ride rate when you ride bulls, you're going to get hurt. You could get stepped on or get a bull fall on top of you," he explained to Fox 26 Houston.
As expected, his career as a rider took a toll on his body. Throughout his cowboy journey, he has endured several broken bones, including his ankle, clavicle, and multiple ribs. Additionally, he had to undergo sinus surgery. "I've broken my leg, and some ribs and a collar bone, and it was not a real fun go at it, but the thing that's lasted with me the most is my C6 and C7 vertebrae have a bone spur on it," Johnson added.
While these were extremely painful experiences, the singer quipped that they had nothing on his invisible wounds. Reflecting on his bull riding career, he told The Boot, "I guess I don't really have a lot of scars other than my pride. My pride has so many scars!"
