Peter Bensinger flashed the cape in his hands at the charging bull, slipping out of the animal’s path at the last second.
He was 14 years old at a farm in Seville, Spain, being cheered on by family and one of the most important bullfighters in the country. Mr. Bensinger was a natural.
Mr. Bensinger “exhibited grace, style and bravery at that moment,” recalled his brother, Roger Bensinger, 91, who also took a turn in the pen against the bull.
In another life Peter Bensinger might have followed his love for bullfighting, which the brothers inherited from their father.
