Looks like they actually had a somewhat safe run:
Running of the bulls, humans causes only minor
injuries
July 11, 2005
PAMPLONA, Spain -- Despite a big crowd of runners on
the streets of Pamplona on Sunday, nobody was gored in
the fourth bull run at the annual San Fermin festival.
The run featured six massive bulls from the renowned
Miura stable. Early reports indicated the worst
injuries of the day came from falls and from
enthusiasts slamming each other into walls trying to
avoid the horns as they ran from a corral on the edge
of town to the bull ring in the center.
Three people, including Hans Hurt, 24, from Port Wing,
Wis., were treated for cuts and bruises, the San
Fermin festival press information center said.
Unusually, a bullfighter also ran with the bulls in
the morning. ''It's an evident risk,'' said Juan Jose
Padilla, who was due to perform in the bullring in the
afternoon, ''but it's also the realization of a
youthful dream.''
The runs continue daily through Thursday. The festival
dates to the late 16th century, though its roots reach
back to the era when Spain was first Christianized. It
gained worldwide fame in Ernest Hemingway's 1926 novel
The Sun Also Rises. AP
