Building a Human Tower in Spain

Every year in early October in Spain teams of people compete to see who can build the largest tower made out of humans!

Members of "Vella de Xiquets de Valls" fall as they try to complete their human tower during the 26th Human Tower Competition on October 2, 2016. 

Watch this video to see one being built in action.
