In the very last scene, JW Coop is seen laying at the end of the arena. We're not sure if he's dead or alive. In the long overhead shot, another bull rider can be seen riding in the other end of the arena, so apparently the rodeo just went on. Seemed awfully strange there was nobody attending Coop. No doctor, ambulance or other riders.
Very dramatic, but not realistic.
