We're not talking about this being done in the middle of Parammata or Hunters Hill. Catelonia is a mountainous region with very few residents and no dense population centres. I'm sure that their authorities were involved - and especially to clear them for entry into and through the aircraft corridor. Why do you assume that because the article didn't divulge their procedure that they had none?
I just don't think that safety should be the overriding factor in everything we do. Risk management is part of the learning process, and without it we learn nothing. I don't remember the space program being cancelled before it started because a mishap might see a rocket crash land on a house on Cocoa Beach. It'd be a hell of a lot more damaging than a cardboard box.
These Spanish kids are going to grow up energised and thirsty for knowledge. They're not going to be the ones that say "my dad wouldn't let me". Good on them.
