to get the ultimate holiday snap

popular with tourists who are happy to risk their

backs as it entered the ring

Revellers laid down and encouraged the rampaging beast to run over


This is the moment a group of young men refused to stop filming on their mobile phones despite a massive bull trampling over them as it burst into a Spanish bullring.

The photographs were taken at the entrance to Pamplona's main bull fighting arena and shows a massive group of revellers risking their lives as they lay down, pile on top of one another and encourage the massive beast to run over their backs.

Despite the city's bull running rituals being centuries old, there was a very modern twist to proceedings this year with camera phones replacing red rags as the item most likely to be waved in the face of a rampaging bull.

With the event increasingly popular with tourists, many in attendance are more than willing to risk their lives to capture the ultimate holiday snap.

The images emerged as it was revealed an Australian man was gored twice by a fighting bull this morning, with a further two people suffering minor injuries as thousands of thrill-seekers dashed alongside the beasts in the second bull-run of the week-long festival.
