What is A Bijective Proof of an Unusual Symmetric Group Generating Function about?

For $\sigma \in S_n$, let $D(\sigma) = \{i : \sigma_{i} > \sigma_{i+1}\}$ denote the descent set of $\sigma$. The length of the permutation is the number of inversions, denoted by $inv(\sigma) = \big | \{(i,j) : i<j, \sigma_i > \sigma_j\} \big |$. Define an unusual quadratic statisitic by $baj(\sigma) = \sum_{i \in D(\sigma)} i (n-i)$. We present here a bijective proof of the identity $\sum_{{\sigma \in S_n} \atop {\sigma(n) = k}} q^{baj(\sigma) - inv(\sigma)} = \prod_{i=1}^{n-1} {{1-q^{i (n-i)}} \over {1-q^i}}$ where $k$ is a fixed integer.
