Ahhh if you thought running with out of control bulls down narrow cobblestone streets was crazy enough...lets add in rain during the run. Cobblestone plus rain equals very slick streets. I think the guy in the above picture learned this. Not good. Here is a report from the Associated Press:
PAMPLONA, Spain—Bulls roughed up seven people Sunday as they thundered down the rain-slicked cobblestone streets of Pamplona during the weeklong San Fermin festival, officials said.
Sunday's run -- the seventh of the festival -- featured six massive Miura bulls, traditionally the largest and fastest-running fighting bulls bred in Spain. Many of those running alongside the bulls had to dive for cover as the pack neared during the half-mile stretch from corral to the bullring, with some crushed, cut and bruised.
One man was smashed against a wooden crash barrier as the bulls rounded a bend on the course and skidded sideways into him. Another escaped a goring when he fell just in front of the charging animals.
