Over in Spain there’s a famous matador called Juan Jose Padilla, who goes by the nickname ‘The Pirate’.
Pretty obvious from that picture above why the name is apt, his eye injury sustained around five years ago in a goring ‘accident’.
Fast forward to this Sunday and the El Pilar Feria at the La Misericordia bullring in Zaragoza, where a 600 kilogram bull decided it was time for Juan to enjoy a trip down memory lane.
Plenty of slow-mos in this clip below:
A few more angles for your enjoyment perusal:
And this from Newser:
This time, he suffered no internal injuries. The 1,300-pound bull also stamped on the fallen matador’s stomach before rescuers got Padilla out of the ring. “This is a part of bullfighting,” he said in 2012 after returning to the ring just months after the first injury.
An eye for an eye huh – come on, it had to be said.
