Isn’t that why they go? To risk their lives? To tell their mates. “Oh, how was Saturday?” “I ran with the bulls.” “Oh yeah.” “Me? I went to Asda with the missus and the kids.”
Yes, I know it’s tradition, a rite of passage, gets the adrenalin pumping and shows off your machismo. But are these men all wimps? Why is there any protection at all? If their machismo is where their balls are they would be running naked through the streets. That would put man and bull on an equal playing field. And at least make it interesting.
