baby-jumping: kind of like Evil Knievel, only without the motorcycle

In the Spanish town of Castrillo de Murcia, there is a yearly festival where men run out of a church dressed in their finest bright yellow jumpsuits to leap over mattresses of babies.Do they ever get kneed in the face, I wonder?Look at that one in the little red jumper, she's all like, "Wow." It reminds me of the reactions my cats give me when I'm doing something particularly foreign to feline behavior.

...Also, is it really any wonder why I want to move back to Europe?

Any word on ~why~ they do this?

I'm thinking alcohol is involved.
