I guess as I have gotten older I value my life and trying to depart with all the body parts that I came into this world with. I should clarify - in Spain.

When I lived in Europe years ago I really wanted to do it. Then I saw a friend one day in Brussels with a huge cast on his arm who had gone. He was knocked down by a bull but not gored. Broke his arm in like 4 places on the cobblestone street. I decided that I probably shouldn't go.

But what the hell, just go and enjoy the sights and the culture. You don't have to "run" with the Bulls, you can simply watch from relatively safe places.

I'd do it as long as someone who was slower than me was there.

I plan to go one day, but probably wouldn't actually run....I think the crowd running is probably a lot more dangerous than the bulls. Of course, when people come home with broken bones, the aren't gonna tell you that they tripped over some other dude's feet!

I'm running this year. Its gonna be the tits. I'm certainly most worried about the crowd with a pack mentality.

Do a "running of the pit bulls" instead.

Go to a shelter.
Get as many pits as you can.
Release them in a run down 'hood.
Start running.
???
Profit

If you make it without getting "gored" (a pit rips your face off) you're the big winner.

I forgot to mention if you want to end up in the arena afterwards you need to start on the other side if the 90 degree turn. And if they see you if you're drunk or taking pics right before the run starts they will pull you from the road. And if you intentionally touch the bulls theocals will whip you with their rolled up papers.

frick no.

Getting gored in the a-hole is not something I'd ever want to experience, though some call that a good Saturday night.

Will be there this year. Still haven't decided if I'm gonna run or not. Leaning towards just getting smashed on sangria and watching the carnage
