Everyone hopes to have a healthy baby, but some parents in India literally go to great heights bring their kids good health.

You won't believe this video.

Worshipers at this Muslim shrine in western India drop babies from a tower for good luck!

The babies are tossed from the tower onto a cloth sheet more than 50 feet below.

This 500-year-old ritual is thought to bring the children good health.

People say there have never been any accidents.
