Video: Man Gored to Death at Running of the Bulls
Running of the Bulls, Video July 10th. 2009, 9:40am
You wouldn’t really partake in the running of the bulls, would you? Before you answer that (this photo isn’t of the guy who died) …
“A man died after being gored in the neck during the annual running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain, the Navarra regional government said Friday on its Web site … [he is] a Spanish man, Daniel Jimeno Romero, age 27, from the Madrid area who was vacationing in Pamplona with his family.”
Some grotesque amateur footage of the man taking the horn in the neck after the jump:
Until 24 hours ago, the last death at the running of the bulls was in 1995.

I am always rooting for the bulls in Pamplona.

not for all the freedom fries in france.

Principle Richard Vernon saw this coming, you know.

That guy had to know something bad was going to happen to him when he put on that shirt in the morning. He looks like the fucking Hamburglar.

15 deaths since 1924 - odds are you won’t die. i’d give it a run.

My idiot friend was in Pamplona for the running of the bulls this year. Every time I see one of these stories I worry that it’s him. Hopefully he chickened out and didn’t run.

That picture up top is gnarly.

longer shot, dying at running of the bulls, or the patriots losing the super bowl to the giants?
July 10th, 2009 at 9:54 am
We backpacked around Europe for 3 weeks and that was our last stop to do the run. Didn’t work out though because of some transportation strike in Spain. Extra days were spent in Italy, probably a good thing.

When you consider the hundreds of thousands of people who have “run with the bulls” over the past 80+ years and compare it with 1 major upset over the past 43 years, I’d say the bulls are a safe bet.
/PS - Pats losing to the Giants wasn’t even the biggest SB upset (NYJ over Balt).

Do it if you’re single. Don’t bring your kids into it. His kid’s without a daddy because he had to prove he has balls.
July 10th, 2009 at 9:57 am
Remember, the Patriots did not lose 42, the Giants won.
BTW, getting killed in Pamplona is the longer shot.
July 10th, 2009 at 9:57 am
I would do it.
July 10th, 2009 at 10:01 am
I was flipping the channels at the top of the hour and saw the video on CNN.
/at least it’s not Michael Jackson

was that a knee-mounted camera that shot the first 40 seconds of that video?

Anybody who thinks they’d consider it, go to the country, find a bull in a pen, and just stand in a bull’s space for a while.
3000 people in your way, while being chased by a hundred stampeding bulls? Count me out.

Looking at both sides of this:
15 deaths since 1924 - odds are you won’t die. i’d give it a run.
But how many non-fatal gorings are there? I’d like to know this stat. I think you’re more likely to get trampled by some panicky college student who eyes got bigger than that fisherman in Caddyshack (1:08 mark)than gored…

Friends who’ve gone said it’s a little anti-clamatic, you’re better off drinking wine and watching the nonsense.

Holy shit that’s a fucked up picture. Can’t you photoshop a smiley face over that?
July 10th, 2009 at 10:13 am
+1000000000000
your odds of getting hurt just trying to get out of the way are probably very high. cobblestone streets = lots of busted ankles and knees.
grew up around it, it def. gets the adrenalin bumping every time.
July 10th, 2009 at 10:14 am
I only just noticed that still photo. Ouch. How the hell does that thing come out? I doubt the bull pulls it back gently.
July 10th, 2009 at 10:19 am
Amen, and considering the Giants played the Patriots to a near stalemate just one month prior, it’s really just a minor upset. Once the weather turned cold, that ‘07 Patriots team was merely very good, no longer great. A pileup of injuries also hampered them, much like the ‘07 Colts.

They say the same thing about sleeping with Brooke Hogan.

Man heckled to death at Fenway Park
July 10th, 2009 at 10:50 am
I’d still do it.
July 10th, 2009 at 11:06 am
You wouldn’t really partake in the running of the bulls, would you?
I’d do it for a Klondike Bar

Looks like when you mess with the bull…
[puts on sunglasses]
…you get the Horns.
YEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
July 10th, 2009 at 11:59 am
Damn it, Wildcat, you beat me to it! +2. One for each horn.
July 10th, 2009 at 12:00 pm
Looks like the early bird….
[puts on sunglasses]
…got the worm.
YEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

As callous as this sounds, I really don’t feel bad for the guy. He knew what he was getting himself into. Plus, these bulls gotta take care of some business before they get about 15 swords through their back in front of thousands of blood thirsty, cheering morons.
July 10th, 2009 at 12:10 pm
You got me to laugh out loud on that one.
