The details are a little, eh... gory.
Bull running events are quite commonplace in Spain and those who take part obviously know the risks involved. 20-year-old Benjamin Miller from the US will probably rue the decision to go bull running during the Carnaval del Toro in Ciudad Rodrigo, Spain, for the rest of his life. He was attacked by one of the bulls who gored him causing injuries to his back, thighs and sphincter. Yes, his sphincter. OUCH!!!!
He underwent three hours of surgery to repair the wounds he suffered which included a 40cm wound to his thigh.
The surgeon, Enrique Crespo, told the Associated Press "It's not the worst injury I've seen, but it's the biggest goring wound I've ever had to operate on."
