el colacho or baby jumping is a traditional spanish practice dating back to 1620 that takes place yearly to celebrate the catholic feast of corpus christi in the village of castrillo de murcia in spain.
the babes are laid on the ground (in festival clothes) and grown men, yes adult males, dressed as devils jump over the infants!!!! this is supposed to cleanse them of all evil doings... nyek! this event is rated among the top ten most dangerous festival according to askmen.com
