On another thread, MJ asked about blood and gore. This story:

fits right in with that.

I must wonder what prompts people to participate in such activities when they know the dangers. Bulls can be very unpredictable, and with crowds taunting them, mayhem is sure to happen once in a while. Perhaps people think 'it wil never happen to me'.

I guess I just don't have enough 'macha' to have a death wish. Talk about 'risk takers'. You guys have a corner on the market.
