Throwing Babies Lead to Good Luck?

Pediatric physical therapy. There is rhyme and reason to it. We go to school and suffer long days of class all day, everyday, only to be welcomed by the release of those classes to start studying together until its far too late. There are numerous books and studies done in order to treat our tiny patients the best way we know how.

Some don't see all of that as necessary at all. Those in certain Indian villages believe by throwing a baby off the roof down into a sheet held by village men, will bring good luck/health to these babies. And they also say that no baby has ever been hurt in the 500 years this ritual has taken place. Its up to you haha, but no baby of mine is being tossed off a 50 foot roof into a sheet. I think I will stick to the scientific and more modern medical approach :)
