Very few matadors have died in the bullrings in Spain in the last 50 years, but many have been injured. Only 16 runners have died during the encierro in Pamplona since they started keeping records in 1922.
Bullfighting in its current form developed in Spain although many ancient cultures had some form of bull taunting or bullfighting.
Its rare that people become injured in bullfighting each year, in 2010 however there was an accident where 40 people were injured. 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.
Bullfighting is a popular pastime for Spaniards. There are hundreds of bullrings in Spain, with many of them being portable for bullfights in smaller towns.
One province, Catalonia, which includes the city of Barcelona, has made bullfighting illegal as of 2012. Other areas are considering similar laws. I doubt if they will be totally successful in removing bullfighting from Spain as it has been a part of the culture of the country for so many centuries and brings a lot of tourist money to the country. It also provided jobs for thousands of people who depend on the bullfight for a large portion of their annual income.
