Spanish village holds baby jump

[Sweetpea]

Grown men have been leaping over rows of babies in the north Spanish village of Castrillo de Murcia in an annual rite meant to ward off the Devil.
Jumpers dressed as the Colacho, a character representing the Devil, bounded over clusters of bemused infants laid out on mattresses.
Nobody appeared to get hurt in this year's festive event.

This is fun is it? I am astounded that any mother would let this go on.

Spain - One of the most backward countries in Europe.

For backward read retarded. How do you explain to your disabled child "Oh, I let a full grown man jump on your head, it was fun"?

See note: Starving and beating donkeys, running away from a herd of frightened bulls for fun, stabbing bulls for a laugh (oooh, but it's really dangerous!), Franco, bleeding the EU for funds and then buying British companies with the money (How stupid is that?), corruption, Russian mafia running Marbella, illegal fishing, etc etc etc.
