I live my life 8-seconds at a time as an adrenaline junkie that goes event to event, matching up against some of the rankest bulls in the world in an 8-second battle for supremacy.
For sure there was... and there were guys in their 50's.
There are even Bull Riders in the 70's still riding in the Senior Pro Rodeo Association, and one guy in Australia who rides with the best of them.
As long as you're in decent enough shape and your body can take the rigours of the sport, you're game.

Yes, loose! The rowel isn't "locked", it's to be "loosely locked", and should be able to rock back and forth about a 1/4 turn.

I grew up around the sport and rode some calves when I was 10 and started riding steers in competition when I was 13.

The best way is to build a drop barrel. There's a YouTube video how to, and there's a pic here: https://www.leffewbullridingworld.com/store/product/drop-barrel
the alternative would be the traditional 4 poles suspending one barrel "bucking barrel", but drop barrel is the way to go.

As long as you try it at a weekend school or clinic, you should be fine. I wouldn't recommend entering until you try it, that way you shouldn't be getting on something that will be trying to kill you the 1st time.

"Those few seconds" ... It varies by rider and changes the more you do it. I used to completely blackout for the first 2, though I would be in position and conscious, I would not remember coming out of the chute. The rest of the ride it just felt strong, like "snap-snap" as the bull kicked... And when he spun, just a dizzy feeling.
But as I began to get on more, it became similar to riding a horse, except stronger and faster... And I began to really start to feel the bulls move and fade underneath me.
Then and now, it's still a rush.
Lots of girls bull ride in the lower levels and as you're 12, you have a good opportunity to ride steers and junior bulls first to get used to it.
