The Cooper's Hill cheese rolling contest is an age-old event, where specially-made Double Gloucester cheeses -- weighing seven pounds and measuring a foot in diameter -- are hurled from the hilltop, to be chased and retrieved by runners waiting below.
But many participants didn't make it to the foot of the hill on foot -- they tumbled to the bottom instead.
One man who tried to dodge a bouncing cheese lost his balance and tumbled 100 feet down the hillside. He was being hospitalized with a head injury.
