A bunch of bull

The annual Running Of The Bulls is underway in Pamplona, Spain. Locals and tourists race through the streets of Pamplona chased by bulls. Does this sound like a fun vacation to you?

Imagine going all the way to Spain and spending the majority of your holiday in the Pamplona emergency room. Eight runs are scheduled - so far more than a dozen people have been injured - luckily none gored. The Bull Run - "fun & exciting" or "terrifying and idiotic"?
Surprisingly the Bull Run did not make an online list of the world's most dangerous sports. The list includes:
Trampoline - Over 100 thousand Americans are injured every year. Gravity can be a bitch.
Street Luge - It's not the 60 mph speed you worry about, it's the oncoming 2 ton truck!
Big Wave Surfing - Cowabunga, dude! Dude? Woah, that's gotta hurt, dude.
Basketball - Over half a million injuries in the U.S. last year. Maybe there'd be less injuries if they quit dribbling all over the court.
Fishing - yes fishing. In fact over 100 fishing related deaths occur every year making Fishing one of the deadliest sports in the world. Who knew Bob Izumi was such a daredevil?
