Bouncing Babies 

In Sholapur, India, an unbelievable non-religious ceremony takes place every year. Babies are dropped from a 15 m tower without any safety string tied to their bodies.

They free fall straight into the hands of the people who wait below with a bed sheet. 

Each year hundreds of people, both Hindus and Muslims, take part in the ritual at the Baba Umer Durga, a Muslim shrine in Sholapur, about 450 kilometers (280 miles) south of Mumbai.

The people of Sholapur are clueless about the purpose behind this fearful act. Some say, it’s for good health while others say it is for good luck for the future of the child.

Though, prohibited by the government. They still indulge in this horrific custom.
