Glossary of San Fermin´s Terms. 5

10. Stacks:
1957
Named after the collapse that produces the crush of people in the Running of the Bulls itinerary, especially at the entrance to the Bullfight Arena. Pose a real danger as bulls will cross it as they please among this human pile. There are 24 registered historic human piles with 700 people injured and 15 of them gored. The first time this happened goes back to 1878.

11. “Tail” Meek (popular name Broom Meek):
They are castrated bulls and a different species of the wild bulls that run on the daily Running of the Bulls. They are trained and know the itinerary perfectly well and their mission, not always possible I´m afraid, is to maintain all the herd packed.

 12. Halters broom.
Tame cattle released into the enclosure after the departure of bulls and aims to guide potential sires that have fallen behind on the course.

13. Dobladores (kind of matador helpers):
This figure emerged in SanFermin Festival as a basic need. These people are placed in the Bullring and with the help of their mulch or cape will at their arrival to the Bullfight and lead them to the corrals where they will stay all day until the Bullfight takes place.
