- Both injured men were hospitalized, while eight other runners, including an 86-year-old British man, received treatment for minor injuries.
- The bull run covers an 875-meter course in just two-and-a-half minutes, often causing accidents due to the speed of the bulls and the crowded, narrow streets.
- Although the last death occurred in 2009, injuries like gorings and broken bones remain common, especially among novice runners and tourists unfamiliar with the event.
- Many injuries result from falls caused by panicked runners trying to avoid the bulls.
