Baby Jumping, a New sport?

While scouring the net, I found an image that stopped me in my tracks. It seems to be some new sport or past-time. Words can’t quite explain it so I’ll have to show you:

Shocking, isn’t it? I’m not sure where this came from but its pretty crazy in terms of how things go. I mean who would put their kids as an obstacle for some wacko guy to jump over. The kids would be dead if he didn’t make it. I mean, isn’t there some kind of a law against this kind of thing, its absolutely crazy. I hope it isn’t some old ancient traditional of some culture that I don’t know of and now they are trying to spread it.
