Gloucestershire Cheese Rolling 2011

Gloucestershire Cheese Rolling 2011 highlights from http://www.soglos.com - filmed on Monday 30 May 2011 during the annual sporting spectacular in Brockworth, Gloucester.

Although the event was officially cancelled again this year due to health and safety concerns, around 500 loyal fans from Gloucestershire and as far away as New Zealand turned up to watch the action from the sidelines.

Local lad Chris Anderson was the champion for another year running, and the atmosphere on the hill was fantastic despite the dreadful British weather.

While there was some police presence on the day, the authorities were particularly friendly to members of the public who had feared they wouldn't even be allowed access to Cooper's Hill on foot.

Hopes remain high for an official version of the event returning in 2012. Visit http://www.soglos.com for the very latest.

@haiKarma No one has ever died or been perminently injured, though a few people have broken bones, sprained ankles or got concussion doing it, I'm not sure how often that happens but I hear one year all 4 or 5 ambulancies that were there had to take people to the hospital and immidatly come back to pick up a second load. I hope to do it some day lol.

So has anyone died or become paralyzed from doing this? Been watching these videos. The speed at which some people fall and land directly on their head at awkward angles...

I heard it was banned for a year or so, well...as long as these people sign waivers before doing this so no one gets sued or hurt except the crazy people doing it.

@jenzzbol Shut up you utter fag it's all a bit of fun it's lads being lads.

[LongCoolTall]

health and safety is a joke banning things like this! Good on these people for doing it anyway. The people who make these rules need to live a little.
