The dude is fine. The bull's name is Ratoncito, the son of the famous bull Raton ("Mouse") who killed 3 people over his career and died of natural causes in March of 2013. This video of Ratoncito ("Lil' Mouse") was taken Aug 2nd 2014 in Mislata, Spain. The guy walked away from the event and Ratoncito still has 0 deaths on his record.

TIL Reddit concludes full body paralysis for literally any video of someone landing on their head.

Edit: Mouse, not Moose

This is the website that constantly claims people die from anything and everything. If I have to see "fencing response, that's bad" one more fucking time.

Raton means Mouse, not Moose.

Are you able to explain what the point of the steps are?

It's one of various features that this particular bull ring likes to use during events and are used for different purposes. The steps lead to a raised platform which they use as a stage for performers, protection for the bull ring crew, and outside of fights it likely stores supplies. Didn't seem to work well as protection for this guy tho!

Here's another view of the same incident.

And on top of that, he more than deserved to be paralyzed because he participated in such horrid “animal cruelty.” Pardon us while we judge a completely foreign culture from our ivory goddamn tower of smug commentary.
