Can This Human Tower Defy Gravity? | Forces of Nature | BBC Science

[@blandrooker6541]

Back in the 80s, we used to do this as members of the SGI youth groups. The difference is that the bottom level was on roller skates and the whole thing rolled across the arena.

[@amisfitpuivk]

I’m for it. It’s safe enough for the kids and teaches them confidence and teamwork young. I’m more worried about that guy’s traps/collarbone at the base

[@Robbie770]

That Kidd who scaled to the top tho 😮 👏🏻

[@SirRockXIII]

looks like a good way to get injured. and or for zombies to get over a wall lol

[@aroundandround]

Wolves howl, buffalo stampede, humans tower.

[@bluebagel8084]

I would love to see them doing this the other way round.

[@verodeal4487]

So, why is this a thing?

[@jamdc2000]

Google it, this generation wants all answers given for free, [sighs.]

[@me-df9re]

Humans

[@zipobob1]

🤣

[@yoyoyohihihidude]

Cuz it’s cool

Stupidity

[@7dream7scape7]

that was so cute the way the kid climbed down at the end safely

[@erdvilla]

If you see every person as a cell in a body this looks amazing in a whole different level. It is like plaquetes stretch in a wound trying to reach the other side's ones that are also trying to reach them.

This is a sensationalized vision of what Castells are. They have shown what, five fallen towers and only a succeed one? Normally it would be the opposite. And maybe in a top competition like this one (only once every two years) a fall every two succeed ones. If you look at the stats, it's as safe as playing sports competitions on the weekend.

Govinda!

[@jansalamon5265]

👍

[@aroundandround]

The goal is to let out a ripe one at the top.

[@chandankumarshaw2670]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@blue_mountains28]

that's horrifying... the kids falling from the top, why would they make children do that... I just don't get it

[@Marc-yc6gm]

Well, you can't make an 80 kg adult climb to the top, the whole structure would collapse. The strongest and heaviest people must be put at the bottom, and the light ones go to the top. And those are the little kids. I know it looks insane, but the number of fatalities is suprisingly low: only three people deaad in the last 40 years. Keep in mind that they don't just plummet to the ground, they fall on top of other people.

[@mortal_engine]

Win the competition?

[@SavePlanetPlease]

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Jaggerbush]

Where is this?!?! Why have i never in my entire life heard of this?!?

[@rogersilveira6036]

The language definitely did not sound like Spanish and that flag I almost 100% sure is from Catalonia. The sponsorship from beer Estrella Galicia is another good indicator.

[@JohnnyNiteTrain]

What if one of them sneezes?

[@robertskolimowski7049]

Given the huge danger for the kids there, it's so pathetic🙄

[@Greg_Buckingham]

Americans, am I right??

[@astrolillo]

@@Greg_Buckingham Since they have crappy culture on their own they resort to shit on others

[@kiskaloo6843]

No way would I let my child do that. Sure, everyone comments about the child at the end making it to the top, but forget the sight of small children falling several storeys earlier in yje video.

[@kiskaloo6843]

*the

The edition of the video is horrible. It's like if they show you a compilation of kids skying and falling in the most gruesome way, instead of a normal skying session. It's a very safe sport.

[@aaz1992]

Humans are weird

[@eatingisallido]

When the kids get involved 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@Heavilymoderated]

I can see why they do it, but keep the kids out.

[@FortunateJuice]

I guess Covid is over.

[@bernicemarie7243]

A little dqisapoointed. I would have l8ked to see the whole tower disassemble.
