This sport involves running with hundreds of runners in front of six to twelve sharp-horned bulls down narrow streets for several hundred meters while trying to avoid goring or trampling.  

 

Runners must be at least 18 years old, cannot provoke the bulls, run in the same direction as everyone, and cannot be under the influence of alcohol.  Wooden barricades containing gaps line the route to protect spectators and allow runners to clamber out of the way if needed.  Runners wear white shirts and trousers with a red waistband and neckerchief.  Songs are sung and a prayer is said before each race. 

FICOR Score

(Fatality & Injury Classification of Risk)

Discipline : Running of Bulls
Severe Injury Rate of 1: X Episodes
Fatality Rate of 1: X Participants

FICOR score is based on XDGE's proprietary scoring system

Minimum score to be considered for XDGE is 50, and the maximum is 100. This FICOR score is based on available data combined with XDGE's proprietary scoring system which weights several factors based on importance, including: insurance risk scores for the particular activity being evaluated, reaction time available as an adverse event unfolds, speed, height, depth, technical difficulty, ability to mitigate risk during activity, availability of backup equipment, involvment of other participants, location of activity, mental focus required, outcome resulting of most mishaps such as death or hospitalization, and a determination of the likelihood of having a major accident if that sport is done frequently.
