It's amazing what is tradition in some places in the world, and what people do for fun. "Running of the Bulls" is a festival that happens once a year in Pamplona, Spain. It involves running in front of bulls that have been let loose on a course of a sectioned-off subset of a town's streets.
Before the running of the bulls, a set of wooden or iron barricades is erected to direct the bulls along the route and to block off sidestreets. The gaps in the barricades are wide enough for a person to slip through, but narrow enough to block a bull.A group of large oxen are released at the end of the run to pick up any stragglers and a run is considered good if the bulls flow swiftly. Whenever a bull gets separated from the herd, it can be dangerous because it will be disoriented and will then often attack anything, or anyone who moves and attracts its attention.
Running the bulls in Pamplona is the ultimate adrenalin rush equal to your first time jumping out of an airplane not knowing if your shut opens. Runners need to understand the importance of traditions on how to run, what to avoid and how to act not to endanger fellow runners.
