A man was seriously injured during the Spanish town of Mataelpino’s annual “Boloencierro,” or running of the ball on August 26, according to reports.The small town traded the traditional bull running for a giant ball eight years ago to cut down on costs and the risks and dangers to both humans and animals of using live bulls, according to reports. The ball, made of styrofoam, this year reportedly weighed 250 kilos (550 pounds), and the man was injured when he came between the ball and a fence. He was airlifted to a nearby hospital.
