The Encierro, In Which The Runners Are The Projectiles.

At the San Fermin festival in Pamplona, Spain, the encierro sends a group of bulls through the town's streets while people run ahead of them. The event, formalized in the town's calendar across the centuries, is one of the few throws in the archive in which the human participants function as the released objects. The compliance desk approaches it with the caution the category demands.
In conventional terms, a throw involves an operator and a projectile. The encierro collapses the two. The runners propel themselves down a narrow, walled course ahead of a following mass, and the course itself — cobbled, turning, and confined — supplies the governing hazard. There is no operator to file a trajectory. Each runner is their own release.
The desk notes, without sensationalism, that stumbling and falling are common. The surface is unforgiving and the crowd is dense. Ground contact occurs frequently and is rarely voluntary, which places much of the field in the category of unmodeled contingency the moment the run begins.
When the runners are the projectiles, no trajectory can be filed in advance and none is.
The bulls, for their part, are governed by nothing the runners control. They follow the course because the course is walled, not because a model directs them. This is ungoverned force in its most literal form — momentum with a mind of its own and no operator accountable for the apex.
The compliance desk restricts itself to the mechanics and extends its respect to everyone who has met the cobblestones over the centuries. The hazard is real, and the desk treats it as such.
The run ends where the streets end. Those still upright have, in the desk's terms, avoided certification. Those who fell have received it, involuntarily.
Compliance verdict: A formalized event of self-released projectiles down a walled course, driven by ungoverned force no operator can model. Ground-contact certificates issue frequently and against the recipients' wishes; apex overshoot is not the risk, the surface is. An unmodeled contingency by design, and one the desk records with genuine, un-ironic respect. Universally regretted at the moment of the fall.
