shows what happens when one guy falls at the running of the bulls, causing pandemonium and sixty injuries without a single fatality. There's a brutal hit at 1:32, as well.

He spent 40 seconds at the mercy of the massive black beast before helpers managed to drag him to safety.

Incredibly, he survived. But yesterday  the incident reignited controversy over this year’s Running of the Bulls festival in Pamplona, Spain, on what became its bloodiest day.

Three people were gored and at least six badly injured in the run, celebrated annually by participants from all over the world and universally condemned  by campaigners against animal cruelty. 

Dramatic footage of the 31-year-old Spaniard’s terrifying brush  with death showed him losing his footing as he and others ran ahead of a single bull.
