Bull Tramples Spectators in the Cheap Seats

I guess Steve Slater fever is everywhere as a Spanish bull in Tafalla decides to do his own version of Take This Job and Shove It, by jumping out of the arena and into the stands.

“What could have been a tragedy ended up as a big fright,” Tafalla Mayor Cristina Sota was cited as saying in the main regional newspaper, Diario de Navarra.

Inaki Zunzarren, who was treated for bruises, told the paper: “The bull caught me and hurled me against the [concrete] seating. What an experience!”

Also injured was 16-year-old Eneko Goyena Sesma.  “I was with my friends when the bull jumped over and everyone began to run. Somebody must have pushed me and I fell to the ground. I got a pretty big fright,” he said.

Something was obviously lost in the translation here.  If I had a half ton animal with horns and a pissy attitude bearing down on me along with 3,500 screaming people panicking trying to get out of the way… I wouldn’t describe it as a “big fright” or an “experience”.  But that’s just me.
