I thought the annual running with (or away from) the bulls was the craziest thing that they do in Spain but apparently I was very, very wrong.Once a year, on the feast of Corpus Christi, some dude jumps over babies as they are lined up in the middle of the street. Seriously.
During El Salto de Colacho (the Devil's Jump), a 'colacho' jumps over the infants to cleanse them of original sin.
Dudes, just because you've been doing this crazy shit for hundreds of years doesn't mean that it should continue. Has it never occurred to anyone that SOMETHING VERY BAD MIGHT HAPPEN?
What if the colacho gets a crampo in his lego as he's jumpingo? He could very well crusho the babyos.

Hi again, thought you might be interested in what sometimes happens in my city (Dunedin, New Zealand) when the university students are here - during the semesters. http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/mens-health/3/5

Thanks for the tip, Que! Looks as if this is more hazardous to the jumper than the jumpee.
