I hadn't spotted that until you point it out - it looks like he's telling the people inside on the balcony not to look, presumably they are his family.
I'm sure you're right, but the difference is you go head-to-head with waves, you've got a pretty good shot at coming through it OK, especially if you keep your eyes on what's coming. You go head-to-head with a bull and you're just asking for trouble, whether you keep your eyes on it or not.
Mediterranean pagan traditions revered the bull as a symbol of virility, divine power, and creation.
If you want to do root cause analysis, this is the actual reason.
The traditions evolve, after thousands of years. In my hometown the runs of the bulls traditionally only allowed bachelors traditionally, I guess to demonstrate that you are marriage material, but nowadays have been open to everybody independently of age, gender and marital status.
It’s always wild to me that you can live decades, probably having some close calls, but then at 57 you decide that hanging on by your fingertips participating in enraging an animal made of pure muscle and death pokeys is a great idea.
57 years of life experience, and he was still too stupid/foolish/brazen to know that this practice is horrid and cruel, and that those bulls kill people.
I never understood the idea of releasing a bunch of bulls and running away from them. Bull riding, sure I guess. Still stupid but whatever. Even bullfighting makes a bit more sense than the bull run.
If my nation had a tradition where they release a raging bull into the streets every so often, I’d make very sure I knew what day it was and make sure to stay firmly indoors that day. Probably looking up ways to move to a less insane nation while I’m at it.
Disgusting abhorrent event that should be outlawed. Purposely scarring the shit out of a bull so it rampages in fear along a narrow alley surrounded by screaming morons only to be slaughtered at the end. I feel as bad for the guy as I do for Charlie Kirk.
There was a motorcycle accident next to my mother's work when I went to pick her up. The drain was at least 20 feet from the injured. It was a river pouring into that drain and yet, somehow the guy survived. I didn't think the body had that much blood. I still see it when I close my eyes sometimes. It was a hit and run, black BMW and they never caught the guy as far as I know.
Look... I get that it's unjust for the bull to be forced to run but a guy who probably had a family still fucking died! At least show some sympathy for the family that lost someone.

He was supposed to side step
Zigged when he should have zagged.
Louie'd when he shoulda Ralph'ed
French fried when he should have pizza'd
If you pizza when you are supposed to french fry, you’re gonna have a bad time.
To be’d when he should have not to be’d
To me'd when he should have to you'd
Like my friend Scary Spice would say "zig-a-zig-a"
My zigga? Is that ok? I feel like that's not ok.
Zigga please
Ducked when he shoulda dodged.
not unlocked yet
Not cont +alt+delete?
It’s just a jump to the left.
The solution is more bulls.
Bulls with friggin lasers on them
Maybe a couple machetes to look extra cool.
if he had a bull to stop this bull then he would be safe
Where’s a good guy with a bull when you need him?
This was a no-bull zone.
'No Way to Prevent This,' Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens
Wise people in the future might know the answer
Stay tuned to this subreddit to find out!
He forgot Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A. Otherwise he'd have been fine.
You forgot ‘start’
We’re open to suggestions 🤷🏼♂️
You mean being physically fit enough to pull his body weight up and climb to safety?
One option! Or not taking part in this shit in the first place…
How a lifelong couch potato thinks he suddenly can participate in this kind of physical challenges?
I’ve got a great new title: 57 year old man fails first pull up attempt in 35 years!
He'd forgotten to take his afternoon siesta that day
Or you know, use the door literally feet away...
But then he wouldn't be a real macho being in the streets facing a 🐂
DODGE!!!
laughs at own death gif…
Should've learned his parry timings.
Convenient to bleed out next to a drain. Very courteous to the road sweepers.
I was hoping the blood makes it to the drain before video ended. I’m pretty confident the blood made it though
It looked to me like he fell downhill from the drain. The blood runs back under his body instead of toward the grate.
Why was this downvoted? That's exactly what happened.
Family is probably crying now claiming he didn’t deserve this and how unfair it is that he got killed
Did you notice the guy that looks just like him wearing a matching shirt? His someone important already watched him die.
“I was with him to the end. His last words were ‘grrrnnnsppplllttt.’”
But aside from that, how was the play, Mrs Lincoln?
I hadn't spotted that until you point it out - it looks like he's telling the people inside on the balcony not to look, presumably they are his family.
Yeah fuck all that.
Dont worry, while it seems brutal its an old tradition and part of culture so its fine. /s
A Toro Del Gayumbo Bull Festival without at least 3 deaths is considered a dull affair.
Ole?
Oleeeee Ole Ole Oleeeee Oleeeeee Oleeee
"the safe word is not working!"
Hahahasnort. Take my upvote.
Unusual name for a Spaniard, but maybe he has Scandinavian roots.
Oh no, so horrible. I hope that poor bull was OK.
His horns have blood on them they should disinfect them asap
I think the bull got away blood free, but the wall near the door?? Not so much….
Sadly, I’m sure it wasn’t okay not too long after this.
Probably one of the worst and most easily avoidable ways to die. Come to Hawaii man! Beaches and waves for days.
Stupid guy
oh he got poked in the left side of his neck when he got slammed against the wall. brutal bleedout
Aloha, former Hawai’i resident and once beach lifeguard qualified.
Only thing, if you’re in the wrong place and turn your back, the waves will kill you just as surely as the bull….!
For real South Kihei is no joke! Saw some older russian lookin aunties get barreled over and over till lifeguards had for run down
id take my chance treading water for a couple hours while someone comes vs. staring down a 2000lb animal with horns.
I'm sure you're right, but the difference is you go head-to-head with waves, you've got a pretty good shot at coming through it OK, especially if you keep your eyes on what's coming. You go head-to-head with a bull and you're just asking for trouble, whether you keep your eyes on it or not.
It's known in medical circles as a Charlie Kirk.
I was gonna say he got Kirk’d but I wasn’t in the mood to be banned today but we can go down together
Kirk'd 🤣🤣🤣 stealing this so fast, I shall cite bigboiiiiii22 at every use
Im thinking of moving to hawaii. Worth it? Thanks
Why do they do this again?
Because they’re imbeciles.
Mediterranean pagan traditions revered the bull as a symbol of virility, divine power, and creation.

The traditions evolve, after thousands of years. In my hometown the runs of the bulls traditionally only allowed bachelors traditionally, I guess to demonstrate that you are marriage material, but nowadays have been open to everybody independently of age, gender and marital status.
I suppose as a bachelor then you ideally you don't have children yet that can see you be gored to death by a giant, terrified animal.
Because spainish
At least he died doing what he loved.
Being a prick?
Being pricked
being pricked and bucket kicked
Being Spanish. They just can’t get enough of this!
I didn't even know he was sick
Stupid games stupid prices. Fuck anyone who exploits animals for their entertainment.
As far as this part of the event is concerned, it looks like the bulls are really enjoying themselves.
Nah, bulls are usually absolutely calm and friendly. They ofter have their testicles clamped to make them more aggressive.
At least that was relatively quick. Damn.
Blood pooling under him Like a GTA npc
I think he got poked in the neck you can see sauce on the bulls right horn
Oh no. Anyway.
Yet the observers sound surprised it happened. Like "Whaaaat?? Impossible!"
They seemed truly shocked 🤣🤣🤣
As is tradition..
That kid is never gonna forget that. Hopefully it keeps him from ever participating in this stupid shit.
Ya know we had a few casualties but all in all the festival was a great success!
“Some of you will die, but that is a sacrifice I’m willing to make”
A
Dothraki weddingbull run without at least three deaths is considered a dull affair.He forgot that one rule of bull avoidance. Bulls aren’t attracted to the color, they’re attracted to the movement.
If only this could have been avoided
How about the ‘Blue Shirt Guy’ just casually walking by like it’s a morning walk in the park 🙃😪
I like how the couple open the door to look out and slams the door as soon they see the old man being rag dolled.
Mind you, this side quest is optional 😐
Oh well, he made the decision to participate in this barbaric animal abuse. Hope it was worth it.
A variation of “I only have to be faster than you,” replaced by “I only have to climb higher than you.”
You mess with the bulls you get the horns amirite??
Why the hell is this thing not banned in Spain? Surely if they can’t feel anything about animal cruelty the danger to people is reason to ban it.
Money...
Populist right-wingers droning on about "tradition".
Black shorts guy never getting down off that window
Hope the bull didn't hurt it's horns doing that.
It’s always wild to me that you can live decades, probably having some close calls, but then at 57 you decide that hanging on by your fingertips participating in enraging an animal made of pure muscle and death pokeys is a great idea.
Well, that's the risk these people take. The risk I took was calculated, but man am I bad at math.
Shoe came off. He never stood a chance.
r/shoeflew
This motivated me to be able to do a single pull up
Hey what’s that one saying about bulls and horns?
Damn, people really like to put themselves into situations where they might die without benefits.
El Drano
[removed]
Because tariffs.
Hahaha
ReLeAsE tHe fILeS
Oopsie. Well .. anyway
Gored to death warning?... why yes that's why I'm here!
It's the nonchalance of the stage coming in at the end that gets me. Like he's so immune to the death of some random dude during this festival
At least drain was right next to the body!
Nothing is ever certain, but this sub is not the one I'm going to end up in.
Después se quejan por los chistes de gallegos
Ay Venancio!
57 years of life experience, and he was still too stupid/foolish/brazen to know that this practice is horrid and cruel, and that those bulls kill people.
Fuck ‘em.
This needs to be banned !
Bull bonked his head on that doorframe. He's definitely dead.
Barbaric practice but justice sometimes is served
I prefer a Beer Festival
Barbarous society to engage in this still in the 21st century. Dying for nothing righteous and people just stand around or walk by.
I know this is gonna sound fucked but that seems like a game of fuck around and find out. Unless he got caught up in the run by accident or something
Everyone in that whole region is well aware of their bull run. Nobody was there by accident. They wipe up the blood and wait until next year.
Omg - from looking forward to retirement to seconds later his life juice leaking out and literally going down the drain. Ultimate FAFO sadly…
It is his culture and we must respect them, so fuck him…
Oh no! Hope the bull is okay!
Is the bull good?
He should have stayed home. What a way to end your life after 57 years.
Surely looking out the window would have done the trick.
Love how Spaniards say the countries they colonized are underdeveloped when they keep doing stupid shit like this
Once i saw the shoe, knew it was over
Anime levels of blood there
And the neighbors who shut the door to leave him to his fate....
Why risk getting gored yourself just to pull a dead body into your house
Mostly peaceful
That last push was likely what got him. It looks like it got him in the neck.
Haha. What a dick.
at 57 you should know better.
Does anyone feel sorry for these people? What do they hope to get out of it? "Look at me, I'm so macho, trying to climb up the side of a building."
I never understood the idea of releasing a bunch of bulls and running away from them. Bull riding, sure I guess. Still stupid but whatever. Even bullfighting makes a bit more sense than the bull run.
I wish more idiots would let bulls take them out.
Congratulations! You won the event! 🏆 🎉
From the folks who brought you Leopards Ate my Face comes a new adventure called Bull Gored my Torso. Same result, but with a new twist
The blood is flowing in the opposite direction to the drain.
The bull is on that side. There’s no way the blood is going near that bull again.
The dangling little legs lmaoooooo
Holy crap. He got that horn right in the chest too.
Me, I used to do 15 pull-ups every day.
Those other guys quickly closed the door on him 😅
Nothing to see here, this is normal within this culture, as we can see, the “celebration” must go on.
When you mess with the bull.......
Is there news on this? Only one shoe came off, so he must be only half dead.
If my nation had a tradition where they release a raging bull into the streets every so often, I’d make very sure I knew what day it was and make sure to stay firmly indoors that day. Probably looking up ways to move to a less insane nation while I’m at it.
Things you love to see.
Oh no, how terrible.
super poor storm drain design! The blood flows perfectly away from the drain.
He has definitely convinced me of his masculinity!
Oh god… bit much for me.. seriously leave bulls alone…
Repost
are you not entertained
Bull Won that round
Yeah shoe came off, hard to survive that
I don’t know much, but I am 100% sure I will not die this way. 100% sure.
Damn. He bled out like Charlie Kirk.
Extremely satisfied. Bull wins.
"to shreds, you say"
Being poor has saved me from a submarine implosion, Freezing to death on Everest, and now being gored to death by a bull 😀
I admire your sunny outlook on poverty. Everything is a matter of perspective. 😂
Love that for that bull. ❤️
Disgusting abhorrent event that should be outlawed. Purposely scarring the shit out of a bull so it rampages in fear along a narrow alley surrounded by screaming morons only to be slaughtered at the end. I feel as bad for the guy as I do for Charlie Kirk.
So anyways as I was saying
Oh well….
He won, right? Isn’t it the whole point of this thing?
Thnakfully the Bull was not hurt!
bad time in history to be a neck
He knew the risks.
That's about as FAFO as you can get!
With recent events, I often wonder if Americans are the dumbest people on planet Earth.
Then I'm reminded that this is a thing.
Supreme FAFO
His last thought: "oh fuk ima fatass"
O’le!!!
Stupid old man
He only lost one shoe, he'll be fine.
There was a motorcycle accident next to my mother's work when I went to pick her up. The drain was at least 20 feet from the injured. It was a river pouring into that drain and yet, somehow the guy survived. I didn't think the body had that much blood. I still see it when I close my eyes sometimes. It was a hit and run, black BMW and they never caught the guy as far as I know.
Lost a shoe. Certain death.
Look... I get that it's unjust for the bull to be forced to run but a guy who probably had a family still fucking died! At least show some sympathy for the family that lost someone.
The bull carved his calf enough to pull his shoe off. 😳
For a million years the only way there was to eat those beasts, was to wait 35 years for them to grow to old.
We are carnivorous scavengers.
