Irony:
An American who co-authored the book "Fiesta: How to Survive the Bulls of Pamplona" became one of their victims Wednesday when he was one of two men gored at the festival.
Bill Hillmann, a 32-year-old from Chicago and a longtime participant in the nine-day Pamplona street party, was gored twice in the right thigh during one of the daily bull runs, organizers said on their website.
The injury was serious but not life-threatening, the Navarra regional government said in a statement.
Regularny:
A 35-year-old Spaniard man from Valencia was also in serious condition after being gored in the chest during the same run on the festival's third day, the statement said. He was not named.
Klutzny:
Three other Spaniards who fell during the run were being treated in Pamplona hospitals for their injuries.
ny:
Fifteen people have died from gorings since record-keeping began in 1924. Dozens of people are injured each year in the runs, most of them in falls.
The bulls are invariably killed in afternoon bullfights.
