What Makes Castells, Human Towers, Safe Today? - Iberian Wonders

Описание: What Makes Castells, Human Towers, Safe Today? Have you ever wondered how traditional human towers from the Iberian Peninsula are kept safe during performances? In this video, we’ll explain the many safety measures and community efforts that have transformed castells into a safer activity today. We’ll start by discussing the importance of protective gear like helmets for children at the top of the towers and how these rules came about after past accidents. We’ll also cover the role of the faixa, a supportive sash that helps stabilize the castellers and prevent falls.

Training plays a vital part in safety, with castellers practicing balance, strength, and communication skills to reduce risks. We’ll also highlight the use of medical teams during performances to provide immediate assistance if needed. Advances in safety gear, such as flexible neck protectors that harden on impact, are another key development. The foundation of the tower, known as the pinya, absorbs shocks and maintains stability, further reducing injury risks.

Additionally, traditional signals and music help coordinate movements during the build, ensuring everyone stays synchronized. We’ll explore how increased media coverage and community focus on safety have contributed to a decline in accidents over the years. Thanks to these combined efforts, castells remain a proud cultural tradition that prioritizes safety while celebrating Iberian heritage.
