@@Daniel-fp7qn Catalonia is part of Spain because it lost the War of Succession (1701-1714) agains Castile and France. It lost it because Britain and Austria sold Catalonia in exchange of territories and other concessions: Gibraltar, Menorca, Parts of Canada, The Netherlands, Parts of Italy, the exclusive right to trade slaves between Africa and America, etc., etc. Spain also had to accept the Salic Law, which was one of the causes of the three Guerras Carlistas and, indirectly, the ETA terrorist war (See Treaties of Utrech 1713). Catalonia has never attacked Spain. The Spanish Government attacks Catalonia systematically.

This is such a sweet and wonderful episode of yours! Amazing story👍🏻

My paternal ancestor was from this region. I will visit there one day.

To affirm that "Castell" is a Spanish word is the same profound (antiscientific, antiphilological) error, as to affirm that "Castle" is a word of the German language. In German it is not called "castle", but "Schloss" or "Burg". In Catalan it is called "castell" which, translated into English, it means "castle". These human towers are called "castells", in the original Catalan language, because it is a Catalan tradition and not Spanish or Castilian. It's necessary to know how to differentiate what is Catalan, from what is Spanish. Catalonia is a nation... And Spain is another different nation. It is parallel how it is necessary to know how to differentiate Irish things from English things... What is Norwegian, from what is Swedish... The Spanish, the Portuguese... What is Czech, from what is Slovak... The Gibraltar, from the Spanish... The Ukrainian, the Russian... The Dutch, the German... The Slovenian, the Serbian... The Greek, the Turkish.

Catalonia was a part of Aragon Crown as an independent territory under the name of Comtat de Barcelona during XII-XIV centuries and Principat de Catalunya in XV's and more, and Catalonia was used normaly to speak about theland (not titles) from XII until our days. And was "independent" because Crown of Aragon, as soon as federal empires in center of europe, was a federal union of different lands as equals. Crown of Aragon is the name that took te territory unified under the crown, but with two (in the beginning) territory united's as equal, Kingdom of Aragorn, and County of Barcelona (And after, Regne de Valencia, Mallorca, Sicily and Naples) in fact the Aragonese Crown flag is the flag from Barcelona's County House adopted by the crown when the realm was founded. But, well all of these are just history, the most important thing now is our right to become a free contry if we want, and does not matters if we were a contry, nation or just a bunch of people with same spirit of liberty, but we want spain's goverment respect our rights :)

The reason they don't, is when the upper group falls, they don't land on a hard surface that'll break their bones. The helmet will help if a small object lands on it, not when a bigger object, in this case a human, lands on it. It'll do more damage than without. They are trained to either bow down their heads or look straight up, when the group above them fall. I'm not a participant, I've just seen a few videos with this and had exactly the same thoughts as you. 😄

Documentaries always exagerate the amount of falls due to its spectacularity. Only 3% of castells fall. Actually there are more injuries in Catalonia due to football than to castells!!! Physicists in Catalan universities have studied castells and have concluded that the people at the base reduce the impact by 60% (they work like an airbag!). Also, a special helmet for the children has been developed to avoid any possible damage, as well as the traditional "faixa", which is the thing around the tummy, which reinforces the spine, avoiding spine injuries. Although it doesn't seem that at first glance, it's actually pretty safe!!! :)
