Trampled by the bulls: Pamplona festival runners are crushed beneath beasts' hooves and thrown into the air as the first bull run of the season gets underway

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Locals and tourists alike submit themselves to Darwin’s cull in this annual event.

Six bulls guided by six tame oxen charged along route through the city's streets before reaching the bull ring

The day of carnage saw bulls jumping into crowds and thousands dressed in white running for their lives

#1 Pamplona Festival? No not for me. Other things I avoid:

Other men's wives, deep-sea submersibles, Caribbean cruises, Power Ball, margin trading, base jumping, ultralight aircraft, motocross, war tourism, free climbing, WMA, mission trips, bungy jumping, biker bars, cave diving, air shows, vintage war bird rides, NASCAR, Springsteen concerts, Ben & Jerry's, Las Vegas, Taste of Chicago, NYC, D.C. Myrtle Beach, and Key West.

Yes, I'm old and very boring.

#6 Was there twice and never once had the urge to run with those beasts.

But you talk about non-stop partying...incredible.

Have fun, Hupo, and don't think it weird if someone offers you a clove of garlic.

#9 I knew a Brit who ran with the beasts many times. He maintained that if you know what you are doing, you are not going to be trampled, and those that do are almost always [drunk] foreigners.

No wonder that the US military banned its service members from running with the bulls in Spain.
