A man was gored to death in the fourth encierro at Pamplona’s running of the bulls. Daniel Jimeno Romero, 27, from Alcala de Henares, was gored in the neck and lung as he was trying to get to a protective barrier during the run. Romero was on vacation with his parents and his girlfriend, according to the Associated Press.

There have been 15 deaths in the Running of the Bulls since 1924. Seriously, if this tradition causes deaths, then......well, it's pretty stupid if you ask me.

I'm surprised it hasn't caused more to deaths to be honest. I mean lol, this tradition has death written all over it.

 

[Skink]

Ouch. Seems to me like something you'd have to be prepared for if you entered the event though.

 

[Azua]

More people have died at amusement parks. *shrug*

 

[Zero Beat]

Why does it even matter? They know what they're getting into.

 

[StinkomanFan]

Exactly! Why does anyone do that?

 

[UberMario]

It's supposed to show your courage. Although it really is getting ridiculous. They should at least put pillows or something on those horns.

 

[AlexoftheAura]

I'm pretty sure those horns could break through some pillows.

 

[Mota]

LOL I expected a much higher number then 15. Thats really not that much if you think about, I mean more people would die in sky diving? or going to the beach?

The bulls must be pretty slow...

HAHAHAHH
Seriously?


I don't like these runnings.

Props to the bull that did it.
If you're going to run in front of charging, pissed off bulls, you deserve to get gored and trampled.

I think you summed up this tradition nicely.

Who cares? If people want to do this, it's totally fine by me. More people have died from vending machines falling on them.

you guys are a bunch of little girls.

the running of the bulls is a rite of passage. it is a completely thrilling experience that i hope to one day take part in. running for your life in a legendary tradition? yes please.

it is for men.

 

[slave1]

people are idiots for participating in this event. especially this guy. at least he was not married to the girl i guess.

but tradition is tradition, so if the spanish want to be gored on a yearly basis, go right ahead

 

[Piety the Diety]

if people want to idiotically risk their lives for this thats their problem, not ours

 

[Teran]

it is for men.

No, running for your life is for girls bro.
Bullfighting, now that's manly.

 

[Chaco]

Obviously the man was trying to wrestle the bull to the ground and ride it like a real man would do.

 

[DJayS]

unfortunatley the guy got a pressing of the fail button XD

...poor bull T_T
jk haha XD

If you want to ban every activity in which 1/5000 or so (I'm guessing) people die, then that's pretty stupid, IMO.

I'm sure that's what this dead guy thought, Teran.

*pat pat*

Why are you calling me out infront of everyone? Matadors do not show themselves in public unless they're killing a bull, cool compromise Teran.
