Gloucestershire "Cheese Rolling and Wake"

COOPERS HILL, ENGLAND - MAY 30: Competitors hurl themselves down a near vertical slope in pursuit of a Double Gloucester cheese during the Gloucestershire "Cheese Rolling and Wake" on May 30, 2005 in Gloucestershire, England. The annual tradition, thought to date back to Roman times, draws competitors from far and wide to chase a seven-pound Double Gloucester cheese 200 yards. Injuries are commonplace, forcing the cancellation of the event in the past. The reward for the winner - they get to take home the cheese. (Photo by Scott Barbour/Getty Images)
