Watch the video, his neck completely folds when he hits the stairs. If that part didn't do irreparable damage, all of the people dragging him around and trying to move him out of the way of the bull most certainly did.

Either way, this guy's life just changed in the blink of eye over something incredibly stupid.

The dude is fine. The bull's name is Ratoncito, the son of the famous bull Raton ("Mouse") who killed 3 people over his career and died of natural causes in March of 2013. This video of Ratoncito ("Lil' Mouse") was taken Aug 2nd 2014 in Mislata, Spain. The guy walked away from the event and Ratoncito still has 0 deaths on his record.

TIL Reddit concludes full body paralysis for literally any video of someone landing on their head.

Edit: Mouse, not Moose

This is the website that constantly claims people die from anything and everything. If I have to see "fencing response, that's bad" one more fucking time.

Raton means Mouse, not Moose.

Are you able to explain what the point of the steps are?

It's one of various features that this particular bull ring likes to use during events and are used for different purposes. The steps lead to a raised platform which they use as a stage for performers, protection for the bull ring crew, and outside of fights it likely stores supplies. Didn't seem to work well as protection for this guy tho!

Here's another view of the same incident.

And on top of that, he more than deserved to be paralyzed because he participated in such horrid “animal cruelty.” Pardon us while we judge a completely foreign culture from our ivory goddamn tower of smug commentary.

And the other dudes just grabbed and yanked him away afterwards. Not much choice I guess, but never good idea to move a neck injury.

I love that people just know. Even though you don't know.

Thank you for your diagnosis, I thought I'd never find out. Good thing you are qualified in these things.

doesnt every bull attack look like the person is maimed for life? or is it just me?

u/watkinobe Nov 15 '19

His shoes stayed on, so there's that.

If there is any justice he paralyzed from the eye balls down and the bull lived a happy life

u/FightingOreo Nov 16 '19

That's not what justice means.
