With the young bull riders hand trapped in the bull rope and unable to break free of the raging animal, the two bullfighters try desperately to protect and free the rider. This photograph was taken after one of the bull fighters had grabbed the bull by its head, but was instantly tossed high into the air like a rag doll by the infuriated beast.
After what seemed like an eternity, the young rider was freed. All finished up safe if not a little sore with the bull clearly triumphant.
