The Jaw-Dropping Art of Bull-Leaping
We've all heard of bull riding and bullfighting. But bull-leaping? That's a whole new level of courage (craziness?). For Spaniard José Manuel Medina, however, bull-leaping, or "recorte," is an adrenaline-filled way of life. In recorte competitions, bull-leapers invite charging bulls toward them in order to evade the animals via side-steps, flips and acrobatic turns. A panel of judges scores their moves. Unlike bullfighting, no harm is done to the animals. Enter the ring ... if you dare.

#5 Except if you watched the video you noticed it isn't about bull fighting. Or maybe you missed the part where it is expressly stated ? And I might add your comment is quite vague, what can we expect about what ?
I agree bull fighting is wrong and cruel but bringing it up just because the theme of the video sorta kinda resembles bull fighting doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

"According to one expert, Alexander Fiske-Harrison, author of Into The Arena: The World of the Spanish Bullfight, a total of 533 bullfighters have been killed in Spain since 1700. But while deaths are uncommon, injuries are not."
