I love a slice of good cheese, but not enough to risk my life for it.

Yet, every year contestants risk life and limb at the Gloucestershire cheese rolling festival.

The rules are simple – chase a wheel of cheese down a steep hill. Catch the cheese and you win, although, as we saw from last year’s harrowing footage, that’s easier said than done.

Nowadays the contestants are actually chasing a lightweight foam cheese, which is later replaced with real cheese when the winner claims their prize.

Here’s Mashable:

Though the competition is distinctly British, it attracts an international audience. Mark Kit, who hails from Toronto, Canada, won one of the races, and television crews from around the world were in attendance.

Enjoy these compilations of some of the ways that the pursuit of cheese led to serious injury:

For cheese and glory!

I’ll keep my cheese where it belongs – melted into a freshly baked garlic and rosemary sourdough loaf, and served with French onion soup.
