Child Eating Basque

A monstrous giant that devours children, this slide in Bilbao (Spanish Basque Country).  One enters through the mouth and, as it should be, leaves from the back-end.
I wonder what Jung would say about this contraption… Eaten by a Basque with beret. Some kind of initiation, no doubt.
Once the child climbed in, the mouth closes behind him/her and there’s definitely some fear to overcome, on the way sliding out.

  2. Whoever thought this up? The threat to a ultimate naughty child who won't behave. Does the experience of being eaten and pooped-out the other end have any lasting psychological impact on children...?
