Getting cross with health and safety

Now, I’m not saying that religion necessarily turns all its adherents into gibbering, deranged morons… but it helps:

Health officials in the Philippines have issued a warning to people taking part in Easter crucifixion rituals.
They have urged them to get tetanus vaccinations before they flagellate themselves and are nailed to crosses, and to practise good hygiene.
