Said one of the women injured, "The organizers kept letting more people come, so it was a very strong fall."
The BBC reports:
Some 500 people were attending the event, part of an annual fiesta, when the accident happened.More than 80 people were taken to a local hospital.
The collapse of the stand was caught live on television. An investigation into what caused it is under way.
Two people dressed as clowns tried to distract the bull away from the fleeing crowds.

GOOD!
Bullfighting is a sick and cruel form of "entertainment"
Im sure all those people were jumping up and down cheering..Im glad no one was killed, but getting your leg broken in an accident like that is nothign compared to haveing some matador taunt you and stick spears and swords between your shoulder blades and tease you while you run around fighting for your life,,,anyone who supports that form of entertainment should be willing to be part of the "entertainment" themselves,,I personally think its entertaining to see a stadium collapse and see a bunch of "fans" who get so excited about such creulty suffer a bit themselves
