Yesterday, hundreds of Spaniards took part in a traditional human tower building competition in Tarragona. Members of the Castellers de Sants constructed a number of towers that teetered on collapse throughout the day during the 22nd Tarragona Castells contest.
Surprise surprise, the inevitable happened.

Clive Barker once wrote a short story that very similar in concept to this. It's fascinating what humans do for some reason or another.

Wow, what an incredible image.. now that looks like a fun tradition (to watch, that is..)
I wonder how many people get hurt when these things tumble, or if they just get gently cushioned by the human sea below.

I guess it would be least painful to be the kid on the top when it all comes crashing down? I'd hate to be the bloke at the bottom when everyone else falls on him. Ouch.
