In fact, 99% of the celebrations and customs in Spain would be outlawed (in the so-called land of liberties) for fear of lawsuits. Events like Los Sanfermines, La tomatina, Las fallas, lo de Coria, etc. In Spain and in other countries in Europe, my impression is that the attitude is, "Too bad that person got hurt. They really should have been more careful..." Anyway, 'Concurso de Castells' kind of reminds me of Pamplona where people dive of one of the monuments in to the hands of the crowd below- I can't remember what this was called.
