Nevertheless, the entire event made for some tense moments, and spectators in the crowd were left more nervous than entertained. A viral video shared on X showed a glimpse of the madness that took place.

The bubble suits acted as safety gears for the participants, as the angry animal charged fast and hard towards them. The video started with the bull charging towards a person in the suit, and it sent them flying into stands.
It did not stop there as it continued using its powerful horns and chased people around the field. Its brute force and rage sent every person flying. There was a moment of fear as well when one of the bubble suits just popped, removing all its air and destroying the suit. It was truly nail-biting to witness, but the people in the field seemed to have the time of their lives.
