Indian Muslim Baby Dropping Ritual

An you say Americans Are Nuts! This is crazing, dropping your baby from a tower in the name of good health. Can this be scientifically proven? or is it just religious tradition?
and i thought a Baptism would be scary for a child, silly me!

Sonia Legg reports from Reuters.

Muslims in western India have been observing a bizarre ritual - they've been throwing their young children off a tall building to improve their health.

The faithful have been observing the ritual at a shrine in Solapur, in western India's Maharastra, for more than five hundred years.

They believe it will make their children strong and say no accidents have ever happened.
