Man slips while watching bull running in Spain and gored to death

A 36-year-old man was gored to death by a bull when he slipped and fell while watching the bull running at a popular Spanish festival in the nearby town of La Vilavella. The man was fatally injured after he slipped as the animal chased revelers.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 31 August 2016.

It seems the man was standing by a barrier next to a bar when he was attacked and is said to have suffered damage to his carotid artery. He was pronounced dead after being rushed to hospital from the scene. This was the first this year in a festival involving bulls in the province of Castellon.
Earlier this month a 13-year-old girl was gored at a festival in Museros which is a 40-minute drive from Valencia. She suffered a four-inch wound to her knee - she had managed to evade controls that were designed to stop under-16s from entering a fenced-off area where the animals chase down revelers.
This incident happened a day after a 15-year-old boy was gored in the nearby Costa Blanca holiday resort of Calpe. He, apparently, lost his footing as the animal charged towards him and suffered an injury to his left armpit.
In July a 29-year-old man died after being attacked by a heifer during an an annual festival in Pedreguer near Valencia and on July 16 a 47-year-old mother of two was gored to death by a heifer at a festival in Moratalla in Murcia, south east Spain, which she was attending with her family. She had tried to escape the animal behind railings after it was let loose in the streets but was caught on its horn, suffered a fatal injury to her abdomen and died a few hours later in hospital. It happened in full view of her husband and children.
