Along with the runner fined for taking a selfie, a man was also fined for video recording the bull run with a drone.

Ahead of this year’s San Fermin festival, the event’s organizers said they planned to work on cracking down on participants for taking selfies. The selfie ban is a protective measure for runners who must navigate the streets of Pamplona as the bulls charge behind them. The bull run takes place on eight consecutive days during the festival.

The Local reports 15 participants have been killed since 1911, the first year records on the bull runs were kept. The last death happened when a man was gored by a bull five years ago.
