PAMPLONA, Spain - Alonso Ceardi nearly died when a half-tonne bull gored him in the chest during Spain's San Fermin festival last year, but he's still addicted to the thrill of running with bulls and is back again this week.

The Chilean-born waiter is one of the thousands of adrenaline junkies who have packed the streets of the northern Spanish town of Pamplona each year since the death-defying running of the bulls ritual inspired US novelist Ernest Hemingway, who spread its fame around the world.

Ceardi, 24, who has attended San Fermin since 2008 is looking forward to his 10th outing on Thursday morning when the bulls are herded through Pamplona for the first day of the week-long festival.

"When you're out there, in front of the bulls, it's an enormous high, that's the way it is. It makes you want to run, to feel on top of the world," Ceardi said.

Last year Ceardi was running through the medieval streets with other fans in traditional white garb and red kerchiefs when one of the six bulls turned on him.

It wasn't much of a contest: Ceardi weighed in at 81 kg (179 lb), the bull at more than 500 kg (1,102 lb). Local media have tallied 15 dead in the annual festivities since 1922.

"It hoisted me, I fell to the ground and then it got me in the leg, through my hip," Ceardi said. "I felt afraid, a lot of pain and thought that would be the last thing I'd ever see."

He shouted what he thought would be his last words, "Long Live Chile!" in honour of the country he left to work as a waiter pouring cider in Spain's northern Asturias region.

Ceardi was lucky. The bull's horns tore a huge gash in his chest and came close to piercing his heart. That, and a thigh wound, could have maimed him for life. But he has recovered since he was discharged from hospital with little more than some horrendous-looking scars and his enthusiasm remains undimmed.

In addition to the usual garb, he will sport a Chilean flag emblazoned across his chest and don a Santa Claus bonnet, "So I can be seen on television."

Meanwhile, the Red Cross will be standing by with 350 people to try to prevent accidents and deal with the usual crop of broken bones or worse.
