Is wacking away violently at used cars and broken home appliances a therapy against stress? Well it is in Spain.
Three Spanish entrepreneurs came up with the idea back in 2003 and it has evolved into a profitable business. Basically people pay to smash cars, washing machines, refrigerators, television-sets with jackhammers, thus relieving stress. It’s called Destruction Therapy or Destructotherapy and the latest session took place this Saturday in Castejon, northern Spain. Participants got to pick from different tools and use their rage to pulverize different objects.
One more interesting fact about this Destruction Therapy is that 40% of the participants are women. It’s not certain that Destruction Therapy (Destructotherapy) really has a therapeutic effect, but it’s definitely fun.
The photos are taken at the event that tok place this year in Castijon and the video was shot back in 2005.

I used to chuck empty glass beer bottles as hard as I could from the top of our parking garage to the ground below to relieve stress. Of course I’d have to go clean it up afterwards.
