Man Who Wrote a Book About Surviving Bull Running Is Gored by a Bull

A Chicago author who was inspired by Ernest Hemingway and co-wrote a book about surviving the running of the bulls underwent surgery Wednesday after he was gored in the thigh by one of the animals during the annual event in Pamplona, Spain.
Bill Hillmann, 32, who doctors said would have died had the injury been less than half an inch closer to an artery, is "OK," his wife, Enid Mruiz, wrote on Facebook. He will be hospitalized in Pamplona for three or four days, but "everything seems fine," said Mruiz, who is with him in Spain.

Apparently Bill wasn't having a good trip to Pamplona, he was robbed earlier and lost his laptop, wallet and passport. This was his 10th trip to Pamplona to run with the bulls, I wonder if he'll amend his book to emphasize that getting gored isn't always fatal.
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
