The saying goes ‘if you want to run with the big dogs you have to learn to pee in the big grass’ (or variations thereof), which loosely translated means that if you can’t handle the consequences then don’t take the risk. These folks in Pamplona certainly took the risk and not all came away smiling.

Spain’s annual Running of the Bulls took place yesterday and for three participants things didn’t exactly go according to plan. Below from Sky News:

A British man and two Americans have been gored at the annual Running of the Bulls in the northern Spanish city of Pamplona.

One of the Americans was reportedly injured in the armpit and the Briton in the perineum…

Eight other people suffered minor injuries – mainly bruising – during the first bull run of Pamplona’s San Fermin festival.

The perineum, for those not familiar with the term, is the area between the anus and the ball bag, also know as the ‘banus’, ‘tjommie’ or ‘gooch’. I don’t imagine being gored in that region was a particularly enjoyable sensation.

Below you can enjoy an extensive gallery of some of the closer encounters. Feel sympathy if you wish, I might just have a good chuckle.
