El Colacho

Also known as the Baby Jumping Festival, this Spanish festiva involves grown men in devil costumes literally leaping over rows of infants. Supposedly, it’s meant to cleanse the babies of sin and bring protection. The babies, of course, have no idea what’s going on—they’re just lying there while their parents stand nearby, trusting that Señor Devil has decent aim and strong quads. One rogue ankle wobble and suddenly your precious bundle’s part of a very different headline.
