Oude traditie maar toch, wat krijg je als je een groep idioten van een berg af laat rollen achter een stuk kaas aan... dit dus.

Daar zitten volgens mij ieder jaar redelijk wat botbreuken tussen.
Totdat er straks één z'n nek breekt.
Het ziet er wel komisch uit, dat dan weer wel.

@ ik ook:
Daar dacht ik ook gelijk aan!
Wikipedia:
Due to the steepness and uneven surface of the hill there are usually a number of injuries, ranging from sprained ankles to broken bones and concussion. A first aid service is provided by the local St John Ambulance (Gloucester, Cheltenham and Stroud Divisions) at the bottom of the hill, with a volunteer rescue group on hand to carry down to them any casualties who do not end up at the bottom through gravity. A number of ambulance vehicles attend the event, since there is invariably at least one, and often several injuries requiring hospital treatment. Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling has been summarised as "twenty young men chase a cheese off a cliff and tumble 200 yards to the bottom, where they are scraped up by paramedics and packed off to hospital".
In 1998, an amateur cameraman was knocked over and injured by a piece of cheese, caught on camera. A video of the 2003 event, featuring a woman accidentally falling down the hill, has recently, gone viral. The woman, thankfully, was only slightly injured. The race of 2005 was delayed while the ambulances returned from the hospital, all of them having been required to transport casualties from previous races. Nevertheless, it was one of the most popular events in recent years, with many more participants than were able to run in the four races.

Is er gedurende die 200 jaar al eens iemand geweest die dat stuk kaas te pakken had voordat íe beneden was? Want dat is, denk ik, de bedoeling toch? Zo niet dan lijkt me dit een vrij zinloos tijdverdrijf......

N.B. Ik zou 'm gewoon beneden opwachten.

Tuurlijk wacht maar beneden tot ie tegen je kop aan knalt met een snelheid van bijna 100 km per uur. Dan kan je ff lekker naar het ziekenhuis ...
