NOOOOO!
People have the right to be insane, dammit!
What's a few injured or dead peasants when compared to the entertainment value for m'Lord?
Has the Big Cheese ever been caught?
This is crazy! Last years event bleu me away!
OMG! Thanks for that! It was hilarious!
Other than the few idiots too stupid to dress appropriately, it sort of looks like most of the touch football games I’ve played in.
Dangerous rites like this abound in the world.How about those crazed Japanese who ride an enormous log down a mountain?
It was gouda for me too!
LoL! Everyone should be sharp and Brie there!
Looks dangerously delicious.

I'd always been told that the cheese stands alone.A 200-year old traditional festival... saw participants chase down large blocks of Double Gloucester cheeses down the steep side of Cooper's Hill with injuries being a common side effect of the event.Couldn't they just start using the safer Single Gloucester? |

It’s like a cross between rugby and Monty Python.
I was just looking for the animation of the Monty Python ambulance LoL!
Oh my goodness, That guy with the horse’s head on was hysterical.
Maybe there is an alternative: make them wear helmets and roll “nerf” cheese along the plain (rather than a hill). If they would roll the nerf-cheese slowly (resting every couple minutes), I think they wouldn’t hurt themselves. Great fun/Safe fun.
That is HYSTERICAL! Yeah, a couple of people got stretchered off, but all the rest looked like they were having a blast.
