How is this any more stupid than going bungie jumping for an exampleIn the "running of the bulls", you have to rely on your feet to keep your ass from getting a horn up it. People's feet are less reliable than a good bungee cord. As you can see in the video, you trip, you're fucked. You don't run fast enough, you're fucked. Not too many people may have died, but I bet lots of people got hospitalized.
Ok maybe that was a bad example. But I believe my point still stands people do it for the thrill. I can't think of an example right now cos Im drunk. No not really, I don't drink often and my brain is just slow at the moment. I also see that I spelled bungee wrong lol...
Im not sure if the average man is able to run faster than a bull but arguing whether "running of the bulls" is more dangerous than bungee jumping would probably get us nowhere. People do dangerous things to excite themselves. At least thats how I see it. Reading various forums and discovering new anime/manga is usually enough excitement for me :)
I also realise the point of the topic was not to argue whether this tradition is stupid anot but to share a video of a somewhat interesting/weird tradition. So I will leave it at that :).

I wasn't really arguing with you about anything really. You made up that bungee thing and I wanted to have fun with that idea, nothing more.

I can help but watch this again. It's quite amusing to see one guy screw over everyone else by tripping in the narrow tunnel.

just to add, the difference between the running of the bulls and bungee jumping... I have to draw attention to safety equipment... you have many, many difference pieces of safety equipment which all have to pass standards before the equipment can be used, whereas the running of the bulls you have this awesome shell like item called your skull... I think you can spot the difference.
