Men Are Dying to Participate in This Insane Ancient Japanese Festival

Every six years in Suwa, Japan, about 120 miles outside of Tokyo, scores of men gather for the Onbashira festival knowing that someone will almost certainly die. The 1,200-year-old religious ceremony — which calls for men dressed like Minions to chop, carry, and ride massive trees down a steep hill, among other things — is ridiculouslydangerous.
