Additional information

The Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling race near Brockworth, Gloucestershire, involves competitors hurling themselves down a near-vertical slope after a wheel of Double Gloucester — a pursuit so reliably injurious that it has operated without official sanction for years, relying entirely on voluntary participation and a local tradition stretching back at least to the early 19th century. Organized safety marshals were eventually abandoned; the event simply continues because nobody stops it.
