Would you let people jump over your baby for luck?

[Tiny Clanger]

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 - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7419655.stm - would you trust them to jump over your baby?

NO WAY.
that photo looks ridiculous
what would happen if something went wrong?
i would never be able to forgive myself.

 

[Starshine]

No, I wouldn't. Wonder how many babies go home with a big boot print stamped on their face. Poor little things!

 

[Granny Smith]

No. And not over my Grandchildren either!

Edit: I have a good idea. Why don't the men jump over the parents too? They need good luck too, right?

Er No!!!
Just the same as I wouldn't burn a sacrifice for fertility.
Not being narrow minded but my assessment of the risk lies heavily on one misfooting leading to calamity
