He’ll Never Stick His Neck Out Again

His wife and daughter didn’t want him to participate in the annual running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain, but Jaime Alvarez, a 46-year-old public defender in San Francisco, ignored their  wishes. He wasn’t terribly interested in obeying the rules of the event, either, which included taking photos without authorization. When Jaime stopped to film a video of himself during the final stages of the run, a bull charged at him and plunged its horn into the right side of his neck. After hours of surgery, he was doing well.
