Himalaya with Michael Palin

The others turn off.
- Is it dangerous? - It is dangerous.
I can show you one of the jockeys who has ridden 25 years on this track.
He's lost an arm.
This is the gentleman.
He lost his arm running with bulls.
- Oh, dear.
That's...
- Do you want him up here? - He's an old jockey.
- How did he lose his arm? It was stuck in the sledge and the bulls pulled him off.
So the arm cut off.
- Do people watching get hurt? - People watching are in more danger.

If they come between the track and a bull, nothing is left of the bones.
- Is anybody killed? - In a big race, there are many people killed.
- Seriously? - Seriously.
Some of the men run with the bulls.
Are they allowed to? In the olden days, the men were stronger.
I have seen some very fine runners.
There's a good pair.
That's a wonderful pair.
- A wonderful pair.
- Good bull or good rider? The bulls are good.
The rider...
They are all good.
Oh, he has gone off the track.
He loses.
- Nearly there.
- That's a very experienced bull.
- They were going really well.
- They were.
- Do you have any bulls in the race? - Four pairs.
