Non-slip trick for Pamplona bulls

[emad]

The northern Spanish town of Pamplona has taken novel measures to try to ensure the safety of participants in its annual bull-running festival.

The town's cobbled streets have been painted with a non-slip coating ahead of the first run on Thursday morning.

Organisers hope this will lessen the chance of bulls slipping and crushing runners against the crash barriers.

The famous San Fermin festival lasts a week, with morning bull runs, afternoon bullfights and all-night parties.

1. LOL . . . next they'll pull up the cobblestones and put down

crumb rubber like they use for running tracks :)

2. I say oil the streets but give the bulls little grippy rubber boots.

That would be MUCH more interesting.

3. Uhhh why don't they just stop the stoopid shit!
