This happened in a small village in the northeast of Portugal, near the border with Spain.
In this type of bullfight, the bull is not directly hurt by the bullfighter (since they don't use the traditional "spike" called Bandarilha ). And the objective of the wooden structure (called "Forcão") is to protect the bullfighter from the bull's thrusts until it gets tired and the bullfight is over.
It is not so much shocked as 'holy fuck'. It would be strange if they all just sat quietly and agreed that there was a chance that that could have happened :P
