Baby Tossing

seems like a lot could go wrong here.

i bet its safer that driving with your child in the car

holy sht! I went through a similar thing when i was 9 months old - but it involved a bottle of night train, a lot of arguing, and there was no sheet.

that is the dumbest shit ive ever seen. "yeah, hey lets go throw our newborn off a fucking tower!"----WOW BRILLIANT!!

And we thought falling off the changing table was a big deal!

oh, come on!! it is really interesting, if i were a baby i would love to experience something like this... almost like bungee jumping... or maybe not lol

anyway, it's been done for 500 years, and so far nobody's been hurt, so it is safe

beautiful ritual/tradition

there seems to be a good vibe during the event

I don't think that this is terrible at all. It develops an extreme trust in the community and allows neighbors to know that they care for each other's children.

And besides, can you imagine being the father tossing your child off of a tower and just hoping that someone at the bottom will catch him or her? Just seems like something to bring all of the people together.

It looks like fun. If I was one of the kids, I'd be shouting, "again! again!" but maybe not naked...

they looked like dolls bouncing around

It's like that Planet Earth episode (seasonal forests) where the ducklings have to jump out of the tree and they land and bounce in a pile of leaves! Yes, exactly like that. How does that work.. it seems like necks should be getting snapped

This seems so crazy and makes me nervous! But, it's also very impressive and interesting. Great job making a short pod with so much punch!

My mom still freaks out about the time I managed to get out of my high chair and took a flying leap onto the kitchen floor. Maybe I should show this to her and she won't feel as bad!

Really interesting pod though! I like it a lot!

wow, that was freaky to watch a baby bounce. I wonder what happens if they flip in the air and land head 1st snapping their fragile necks. Guess its a different culture so i shouldn't complain. Cool Pod!

that's an awesome way to enter the world! why wait at 9-11 months? I say have mom deliver the baby right off the tower.

Well, if they claim no one's been hurt.. I'm down n diggin' it lol

too crazy ...

..............splat.

That was the one recurring word in my head while I watched.

It seems like it might be fun to throw babies off of a tower, though.

I thought it was just so cool how other people in other countries think very diffrent ways to give thier children health and strenghth.

i watched that with my newborn in my arms ,disturbing

talking about having a lot of faith and trust in a ritual... that would take some devotion.

Oh, so this is where Michael Jackson got the idea from........!!! (sorry, MJ was the first thing I thought of when I saw this pod....)
