This video features the running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain, which continues to be a popular event despite the fact that many people have been gored or even killed since its inception. In particular, the video focuses on one man who is running with the bulls. His physiological reactions - heart rate and cortisol levels - are monitored before, during, and after his participation. As you watch the video, consider what it reveals about the nature of the body’s fight-or-flight response to danger.
