Updated | 5:07 p.m. A 27-year-old man from outside Madrid was gored to death on Friday during the annual running of the bulls, the centerpiece event of the San Fermin festival in the Spanish city of Pamplona. An article posted on the festival’s Web site identified the dead man as Daniel Jimeno Romero — and showed a still frame from an amateur video which captured the fatal goring.

Bull got a neck thrust....just bad assed luck for the lad

..the inherent risk of running with an angry large horned male animal notwithstanding

RIP and Godspeed, and prayers for his mommy

risk, valor and all that testosterone laden romanticism sometimes has a high price

i’m very lucky i made it through that age

I agree that traditions like these should be preserved, but I think running with the bulls should be replaced by a safer alternative :

He should get a personal Darwin Award, except that Pamplona holds a permanent designation as a Darwin City.

The bishop in Pamplona should have decreed No Catholic Funeral for anyone killed in the running of the bulls—centuries ago.

LOL! He makes me laugh, especially when he tries to stand up to his mother.

I absolutely love Arrested Development. I’m one of those AD geeks who randomly throws out quotes. That series gets better each time you view it because there’s so many jokes that allude to future story lines. One of the best shows EVER!

Who would have suspected that running around with a bunch of agitated live bulls could be so dangerous?
