Those are flank straps.

They are not wrapped around the testicles of bucking animals but around their bellies.

Five minutes of research would have told you this.

Five minutes of thought would have told you that crushing the testicles of animals whose semen can be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars is probably a bad idea.

        See that strap back there? The one over the testes? That they pull at the last moment? - bowser - 8/20/2013 12:37:26 AM

        Absolutely the best demonstration of willful ignorance we could have. And it's only one of many. - bowser - 8/21/2013 4:16:44 AM
        
        You aren't that stupid and you aren't blind. So what is it? - bowser - 8/20/2013 9:15:52 PM
        
        Why is that cinch strap around the testes pulled when the gate opens? Why is that strap there? - bowser - 8/20/2013 9:15:03 PM
        
        That strap around the testes, with the quick release feature, that is cinched when the gate opens, is for what? - bowser - 8/20/2013 4:01:42 AM
        
        Well, what do you think that strap around the testicles is for? The one that's tightened as the gate opens? - bowser - 8/19/2013 7:20:56 PM
        
        5 seconds of viewing would show you two straps. One pulled at gate opening. - bowser - 8/19/2013 12:59:09 AM
