The desire to have a selfie as a souvenir from running with the bulls in Spain turned into a near-death experience an American lawyer says he'll never forget.

A charging bull ran over and gored San Francisco resident Jaime Alvarez in the neck during the first run of this year's San Fermin festival in Pamplona, an event immortalized by writer Ernest Hemingway nearly a century ago.

"The joy and the excitement of being in the bullring quickly turned into a scare, into real fear for my life," Alvarez, 46, said Monday at a regional hospital where he was recovering from surgery.

Why does this even make the news anymore? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Wouldn't that include everyone at the running of the bulls?

I have no respect for anyone who goes to that idiotic festival. Find your won adventure, don't copy a writer from 100 plus years ago, so Yes, I agree all attendees are Darwin material.

It is such fun to cheer for the bulls though!
