Gloucestershire Cheese Rolling 2007

Mad British pastime No. 1: chasing a cheese downhill. Tactics ranged from dainty shimmying on the backside to head over heels tumbling that resulted in surprisingly few casualties – with only 20 minor injuries treated by St John Ambulance on the day. Twisted ankles, broken wrists and bloody cuts were all regular sightings on the bedraggled competitors as they limped, smiling, back to the crowds. Watch the video, it's worth it! More info here.
