You've got see this to believe it. For the last 500 years or so, villagers have been dropping babies from the top of a 50-foot tower in Solapur, India. Devotees claim that the children don't suffer any ill effects from the fall, which ends on a white sheet. "They believe that if they throw the child from the roof then it does good to him or her,”

Damn!!!

My brother fell out of BED when he was a baby and he's a little

My opinion, of course. LOL

Remember all the hullabaloo when Michael Jackson just HELD his kid over the railing?

Bear in mind 20+ years later those babies might pay to do something like that but from a much higher height, with a little bit of elastic attached.

wtf does that mean? tell me how making a choice as an adult to go bungie jumping have to do with dropping babies onto a 4x5ft sheet? There may be a bit of elasticity in the sheet but the sudden spring up for a young child is prob enough to bruise them. I think its rather foolish and silly. I dropped my baby from 5 stories high and he now can not get AIDS?
