<p align="center">
The rules of the game are simple, you show up, you chase cheese off a cliff, you tumble for a couple hundred yards, then you go to either the pub or the local hospital.
The famous
"Coopers Hill Cheese Rolling and Wake"
is an ancient event which takes place annually on the Spring Bank holiday in a place called Gloucestershire (England) held in May.
The Coopers Hill Cheese Rolling is primarily an event for the residents living near Brockworth, Gloucestershire. If you want to become involved in the event it's very important that you respect the town, its inhabitants, the rules of the game and the other players. It's a very good natured event, and everyone is extremely friendly and helpful, and often drunk.
It's a very dangerous sport and can easily result in serious injury or possibly death. After each time they roll a cheese down for the hill it allways result with injurys and ambulance, and considering only 15 people participate in each run the odds of being injured are not good! There are about 6 runs so it's about 70 people participate and around 50 gets injured somehow.
Spectators have been known to be injured as well. One year a spectator caught the round of cheese in his head and sent him tumbling down the hill where he received treatment from the paramedics. All this is on your own risk.
The cheese weigth 3.5 kilos and is a famous cheese made only with the milk from
Gloucester cows
.
The cheese rolls in 70
mph (112 km
/h).
