Spanish bull fighter suffers horrific injury as bulls horn enters beneath the chin and comes out of mouth.
Bullfight injury as Matador gored through chin with horns coming out of mouth. (WARNING – The video contains scenes which may distress you.)
[media id=262 width=610 height=340]Spanish, Portuguese and some Latin country’s love bullfighting. It is a cultural activity which has been practiced for centuries.
The excitement, the crowd and the risks which lay in the bull ring hits record viewers each year, though the sport has lost popularity in some countries in recent years.
However, nothing could have prepared the matador, spectators or anyone for what happened in Madrid on Friday when a Spanish matador, Julio Aparicio, was gored from under his chin.
[adrotate banner=”56″]As can be seen on the video footage, the bullfighter lost his balance while the bull was coming towards him and dropped to his knee which is when the half-ton bull struck.
The scene was horrible as you can see from the video on top, but please be advised that if you’re fainthearted, DO NOT WATCH THE VIDEO, it is very graphic.
The thousands of crowd looked on in horror as the matador was tossed by his chin like he was a doll. He was lifted back on his feet by his aids with blood pouring from his mouth and under his chin and remarkably he was not unconscious and managed to rush out of the ring.
The 41-year-old bullfighter is currently in intensive care with doctors saying they expect a full recovery after no arteries or major veins were damaged.
The bullfighter’s surgeon, Dr. Maximo Garcia Padros operated on Aparicio for six hours to reconstruct his throat, jaw, tongue, and roof of his mouth.
Padros said on Sunday “The horn entered the base of the jaw, just above the vocal cords,”
“It is an injury which seemed worse at first sight but luckily no major damage were done to the important areas. We have made reconstructions to Aparicio’s palate and jaw.”
According to reports the 41-year-old matador is currently communicating with writing on a piece of paper for things which he wants and to answer questions.
The Aparicio’s father, Julio Aparicio Martínez, who was a former bullfighter himself has told local news agencies that his son was in better condition but he has still not visited him.
Martínez said “I only know what I’m told, which is the he is in better condition, but I do not go to see him, I find myself unable to see my son in that condition.”
Doctors say they expect a full recovery and that there are no life threatening injuries. It has not been said if the bullfighter will ever return back to the arena.
The bull which injured Aparicio, was later killed by another matador.
Can you really feel sorry for Julio Aparicio who kills bulls in public spotlight as a sport (bloodsport). Write your thoughts and comments bellow.

I believe that you simply could do with some p.c. to drive the message house a bit, but other than that, this is magnificent blog. An excellent read. I will definitely be back.
I like the helpful info you supply for your articles. I will bookmark your weblog and test once more right here regularly. I’m slightly sure I’ll be told lots of new stuff proper right here! Best of luck for the following!
as its to the death i think he should have stuck it out in the ring.
Aparicio por lo hijo de puta covard e criminar que eres,essa guampada devia de ser en el culo,husted no has te el gallito guando esse toro infeliz sale a la arena ya esta mas muerto que vivo .que desgracia estara sentiendo el vientre de tu puta madre que a cagado la niseria que ai en ti asesino
The night before, this man cut the ears off two bulls that were not yet even dead… Then he sticks this animal full of barbs, the suffering of this “human entertainment” is unimaginable except now perhaps the matador will have gained compassion as he now is suffering too. It is time to evolve people, and let the old gladiator mentality go. May the matador recover and have a new outlook onlife…
Sometimes you just gotta take it on the chin!
Dear people who hate people but like the poor bull so much. Please, read a bit of Ernest Hemigway to understand better the history, traditions and soul of other countries.
to all matadors especially in spain keep the faith its what pleases god remember what jesus had to go thru
if you dont like the sport go watch football
michael jackson once said singing is a victory for him nad his family i feel the same way about bullfighting and the honor belongs to god
perfect Karma!! Pity the poor bull
The worst part of the story is the the bull, who after being harassed and stabbed and and weakened for the matador’s advantage… managed to strike back as is his instict.. and instead of being put to pasture to enjoy his life with lots of sexy cows… he is made to fight again… BULL won the match…
When will they ever learn! It serves him right, he entered into that arena and knew what could happen. I have no sympathy for any bullfighters, it is a cruel and barbaric act.
This is a Dangerous ‘sport’, also this is a tradition. It’s there choice if they want to experiance the pain from the bull. Its in – humane what they do to the bulls, but atleast they’re not waisting the bull, they’re using the bull meat for food. We eat chicken and ther animals, whats the big deal? That is a horrid sight to look at, but also cool. He must have suffered through great pain and also lost some teeth in the process. All i got to say to him is goodluck facing another bull just like this one, and dont fall or you’ll get your end of the bargin.
i know i dont feel sorry for him. he got less then the bulls he kills are forced to endure
