A death in the afternoon might be preferably to what happened to one unlucky matador in Las Ventanas, Spain.
Having downed two monsters already, the third was not a charm for one Spanish bullfight, who was impaled through the throat and mouth by an angry, 1,1100-pound bull.
As the New York Post describes it:
The sickening goring happened as Aparicio was going in for the faena, a series of passes in which he uses his cape and sword before delivering the wounded animal the death blow, or estocada.
As Aparicio teased the angry bull with his cape to entertain the fans, it was the bull who delivered the finishing move as the experienced matador fell to his rear end.
Aparicio had lost his footing and Opiparo, the bull, pieced the bullfight through the roof of his mouth, as well as fracturing his jawbone. While his injuries are horrendously shocking, Aparico is expected to make a full recovery.
Bullfighting might be a centuries-old tradition shrouded in mysterious allure, but in this day-in-age, everything gets recorded. For the less squeamish, the video of the bull’s revenge is below:
