... one of the best balcony spots in the entire city. It was located just above dead man’s curve; that vantage point afforded views of not only the shorter road coming in from the corral, but the very long road heading into the bull ring. When the rocket fired at 8am, pandemonium ensued. Many people ran when they shouldn’t have, some tried to plot out a spot to wait for the bulls, and most just simply stood in a semi state of panic.

... 8217;t really want to cheat injury twice, so I chilled near the edge, making my way to the centre a couple of times and as the heifer got close I got the hell out. A couple of people were knocked out, probably with broken ribs also. One guy had a horn gash from the base of his throat to his ear- if the horn was not corked, he'd be a gonner.
