This is footage from an actual CNN report on the 500 year old Indian(yes, the ones who live in India) ritual of dropping babies from a tower. The observants believe it makes them stronger and brings them luck in life.

  • I can't believe they can do that!
  • I am outraged, that's reckless endangerment!
  • I think...

    Noone gets hurt so it's okay. They probably won't be afraid of heights when they get older.

    It's their culture and what they do is what they do; however, personally, I think they're doing the incorrect thing.

    Well, that's their culture. It's not for us to judge. I'd imagine that they have the actual baby toss down to a science. I think if the babies were dying left and right the tradition would have died off long ago.
