Best for last: Nine injured at Pamplona Bull run, see video

Ouch!

The last day of the Pamplona, Spain, Bull Run ended up to be the most injury filled day out of the event.

For the past week and a half, drunken men — and it seems to be almost exclusively men — have lined up along a cobble stone street and waited for 12 bulls to come running down it. A few were gored, a few were trampled, but no one died during the runs. They probably should have, but they didn’t.

Today, the final day of the San Fermin festival, which includes the Running of the Bulls made famous by Ernest Hemingway’s “The Bull Stops Here.”

New reports say that nine people were injured today, though only one was gored.

Fortunately, no one was killed this year, which was happened last year during the bull run.

This is simply insane — and something we definitely want to put our list of places to go to. We’re not entirely sure why, but it is just something that you’ve got to see and we want to see it.
