Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Greater faith hath no man than he would let someone else be his only way of escaping a bull's charge. But that's how this contraption works. When the bull charges, it's up to the man on the other end to pull you up clear of his horns. He does it because he's going to need you next time.
