It is more likely though that one wrong move of a matador and he will be maimed or gored by the bull. It is rare to see more than one or two fatalities per year due to bullfighting in Spain. Over 24000 bulls are killed each year in bullfighting in Spain.

It was originally a sport for aristocrats and got its start in 711 during the coronation of king Alfonso VII, and the bulls were fought on horseback. King Phillipe V banned the sport for the aristocracy in 1724, because he deemed it set a bad example for the public. It became a commoners sport at this time. Because the common people could not afford horses, bullfighting took place with matadors on foot. Now, it is a part of Spanish culture and tradition.
