In Harangal, India, men at a Muslim shrine toss babies off a 50 foot building onto a cloth sheet that catches the flying infant. The annual ritual takes place in a small village and parents of the babies tossed believe it will their child stronger.
The 500 year-old tradition is said to be more than safe for the children involved, and locals reveal that no child has ever been harmed.
The practice is pretty unbelievable and almost unbearable to watch. The fact that these babies are being thrown from such a high point makes it hard to believe that none have ever been hurt. One wrong movement by the baby in midair and it could be fatal.
