Here’s proof that Spain’s Running of the Bulls festival is pure insanity.
Live TV captured the moment when a competitor was trampled by the animals racing through the streets of Pamplona.
The man is seen being caught by the rampaging bulls and is first struck by a beast’s horns while he is in mid-air.
He is then dragged along the street under the hooves of the two creatures – and is fortunate a third bull jumps over him as it follows close behind.
Other runners taking part in the ridiculous event are seen ignoring the presumably injured man and carry on racing down the road.
Two American tourists aged 22 and 35 were gored during the race on Saturday.
It is not clear if this man was one of them – though he is thought to be a foreign competitor.
The injured 22-year-old was said to be in a serious condition having been gored in the leg.
The pair were among 10 people taken to hospital after the run, with another three Americans, three Spaniards and two Frenchmen needing treatment.
However, the other eight people suffered minor injuries such as bruises and grazes.
The cobbled streets of Pamplona were more slippery than usual on Saturday due to rain, contributing to some of the falls and injuries
