Preventing the "Piling up"

After what happened during the last San Fermin Running of the bulls, the House of Mercy (responsible for the Plaza de Toros), has taken a drastic measure as they have decided to achor the alley gates to the ground during the entrance of the Bullfight Ring during the Bull Run, in order to avoid the horrible human pile that occurred las July 13 with a dramatic result.  

This year a commission was created to study different preventive measures for such events. It was also considered the possibility of limiting the number of runners but the representatives of "Las Peñas" (local associations) were totally against.
It could have been a great tragedy. There were 23 wounded, including two runner hurt by bull horn. Fortunately all ended up recovering. On these occasions it is said that "San Fermin les echó un capote” (help them with his cape).
