Brockworth, England (AHN) - An annual British cheese-rolling competition that entails chasing giant cheeses down a steep slope has resulted in twenty-five injured people, organizers say.
A crowd of 3,000 spectators watched dozens of people take part in the event at Cooper's Hill in Brockworth, Gloucestershire, reports Yahoo! News.
The 25 injuries, which include 12 injured spectators, occurred when participants chased the wheel-shaped Double Gloucester cheese in a 200-meter race down a slope.
The winners of each of the five races were awarded with a big circle of cheese.

Racing Cheeses are not for amaturs.
DO NOT attempt this at home!
No photos of the Turbo Gloucester are available at this time.

Anything cheese and I'm there, just made some fresh mozzarella this morning. Making cheese about 4 days a week right now. None for rolling. :))

You don't have to get cheezy about it!!!
Just for that, did you know that all, ALL cheese is inhabited with Cheese Mites!
Can't get away from it.
No wonder those cheese heads always look a bit antsy!
