Thrills and spills as Cheese Rolling 2023 leads to MULTIPLE injuries in Gloucestershire, UK 

HAHA for real they slammed those people.

hahahhaahhahahahhaha. Amazing comment. 😂😂😂

without the catchers we would almost certainly have a fatality every year

Ya that one tackling that was shown twice seemed a little over the top lol

My thoughts, exactly 🤣

Whole families turning up to watch the "fun". Not weird at all.

it's so simple and pure lol

​@A.J.B. Smithson Why would their families not be there? Get back to your soy bottle.

😂😂😂

@@nickb220 literally permanent injuries awaiting and never being able to walk the same again.

Right on

🧀👤

Actually, I have been training for 5 decades.

i second this! :D

White ppl are so accepting of their own self destructive behavior but nobody elses.. 😆

How do you regain hope by seeing people gathered to watch other people fall and potentially hurt themselves?

For a block of cheese?

😅

😂😂😂

I just hope it wasn't a transjen. Keep them out of women's sports.

We didn't get to see a race you mean - The overwhelming majority gently went down on their arses.

That is quality!

Flucking legend. That's a role model for my daughter. 🧀🧀🧀🧀

That was much less painful than I thought it would be.

Rugby tackle bro 😂

They should put Edge Rhyno and Goldberg at the bottom 😂

Terrible idea

Yeah what's that guy's deal

And he didn't lets us in Gloucestershire down! Well done for being part of the tradition. Hope it lasts for a few more hundreds of years. We're losing too much of our past as it is.

Brev, it's a wheel of cheese. I doubt your bother had money on ye.

I don't think he can remember much of what happened

I'm his brother and we are still not talking to him.

I was in the zone 😂

@@251rmartin 💯%!

It's very easy to damage your knees for life when running downhill. Maybe paraolympics on wheelchair would work?

​@@mirekrusin Might as well tuck n roll from the get-go.

@@mirekrusin I would watch a paraolympics version of this for sure.

That’s ruined him that has. He’s let everyone down, he’s let his brothers down… He’s let Gloucestershire down… blow in the head? Blow in the heart, more like.

I couldn't tell if he was genuinely upset or messing about

@@like-icecream Definitely genuine

He was so upset he took himself back to the top and threw himself off. Came 2nd again.

@@markoz50 And for the last time. Unfortunately

​@@michaeldoolan7595 Yes, that'd be great, Id have given it a go when I was younger. For a similar experience .... .... 15-20 years ago, I was skydiving with some mates & one evening after we'd a few beers we decided to play 'beer bungee'. Someone brought out a bungee cord, tied it to a tree & the objective was to clip the other end onto a parachute container your wearing ( a harness with leg straps, a chest strap & straps over the shoulders -all connecting at the back ). You'll drink beer while walking forward till you can't -against the bungee tension. Place your beer on the ground so it won't tip over, as the bungee whips you backwards....towards that tree (we dressed it with couch cushions incase anyone hit it). Whoever left their beer standing farthest from the tree wins. Being in a wheelchair, I needed some assistance, to get pulled forward while I drank beer. The guys After the 1st guy got to the end of his strength, I asked for 3 additional guys to help pull me farther then any beer can there. I don't remember much about the tumbling. The next day I saw the video while nursing a headache.

Hahahahaha you sick f@ck hahahahaha LOVE IT! MY kind of sense of humour!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 😎🇬🇧

@gf3473 Kudos, brother. I'd never throw myself from a perfectly good aircraft for any reason. We all laugh at others' problems. British people laugh most at their own. You keep chugging and chasing the life you want.

3:11 the roll meister

Youre ruthless

100% agree. Flew all the way from Seattle, underestimated the size of the task, tried to prep but forgot his equipment, instead resorts to loosening up with beer... Welcome home son 🇬🇧

im from seattle, and im suprised to even see a random comment on youtube about it. Washington State might be the most unknown state in all of america

@@Deppey fr that’s what I thought and I’m proud of my state, but I moved recently now im a certified Florida man 😂

I like the second (white) guy from Washington state better.

Lots of people from Seattle. This may be our sport to pursue.

lol

😂

This reminded me of Ibex's rolling down a hill

I'd definitely do it for a tin of beans, they cost a fortune!! 😂😂

prat

You still have a spine?

😂

@@don7294 Hahahahaahahahahaahaha

I did it 19 years ago when I was 52. I'm currently deceased!

"I used to be proud to be English, but when it came my turn to stand up I just applauded the other team. Now my dad is disappointed in me".

Too many foreigners getting into everything.

@@jimdavis8391 cry cry ya backwards war hero

@@jimdavis8391 Spoken like a true bigot. What a stupid thing to say.

How it should be! Strangers are just friends you haven't met yet. Stop letting politicians devide us

nice

5:18 woah 6:20

does that mean private parts were on display ?

@@williams4434 i hope so

@@bradford_shaun_murray LOL rolling down that hill naked should be a thing

Thanks for the revelation that flipping head over heels backwards down a hill hurts like hell. You're so crazy though.

Respect!! There are no prizes for those who don't have the courage to compete! 🧀🧀🧀🏆

Damn dood! I'm laying in bed watching this video and my back is telling me, "DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!" .... Well, I am 59 now so I think I'll listen to my body and just watch others get hurt. It musta been a BLAST!!!!

​@@wildwestunlimitedif you don t do it now you’ll never do it, follow your dreams

@@jungbolosse3034 RIP that guy

need to teach some of them at the bottom how to soft catch. This they injured a few with dead stop tackles.

We have tried to teach them to soft catch but we only have about three hours to train them and we can't train on coopers hill so we train elsewhere which unfortunately isn't as steep, the guys who have been doing it for a while learn the art of a soft catch but the newer ones haven't learnt that yet and tend to resort to what they normally do, we try to teach them to move backwards as they catch the runner to reduce the impact but that often goes out of the window with adrenaline, we are trialling a few other options for the future!

Would it not be safer to have something really soft for them to land in at the bottom like mattress foam?

No, whatever gets used needs to be able to be moved easily and the problem with mattress foam is you can't really get a good enough grip on memory foam and a spring mattress is a big no no, we have tried a net similar to those found on some ski slopes but there is no where to anchor it safely, the best method so far is a rugby team, but they are meant to sort of jog backwards when they catch the runners to minimise injuries but it is not always possible especially when you consider that you can potentially have thirty people coming down, but if they are unconscious a net is not an option, there is no great option and to be honest I'm surprised we don't have really major injuries every year, but the hospital does tend to put extra staff on in a&e and the major trauma unit for the cheese rolling!

@@cambec Agree entirely - why are they letting stupid people injure them! (Dot)

Cheese rolling Welly wanging Gurning any more?

US was colonized by the Brits so win win I guess DOES nobody know history ?

they need to set their goals higher. the only time cheese should even be considered chased down a hill is while drunk off your ass

????

@Dung Eater lol talking about escalation

​@@roderbergis4038 Dungeater is a foul mouthed 3 week old troll . Seen his comments in a few places.

@BlazingVideosytThinking of creative ways to hurt yourself is a time honored tradition

And you didn't get an award for being last?? You could of least got a slice of cheese 😂

Your a champ bro.

@BlazingVideosyt that's how we used to fight our battles lol

I love your style, safe and sound just so you can get a participation trophy.

This is the country that thought the Brexit cliff edge was a good idea.

This comment deserves more likes😂😂

Shout "CHEEEEESE" you mean.😊

Haha

Eating cheetos while watching this.

I think it is more for the bragging rights and the fun

*about

And glory

​@@squick1842 what

I think it reminds them of their famous show takeshi's castle. Same masochistic mindset :D

ok mr Craig David shawty fell in love with a hustler

I’m a bit surprised this is specifically a UK thing. Wisconsin should get on this

@@resplndntit’s an English tradition, England has loads of these weird traditional games 😂

I'm old enough to remember when British people were white.

Lol shut up you muppet 😂 it’s over that country is never coming back so deal with it or move to Scandinavia 🤷🏼‍♀@@frauleinhohenzollern8442

lol

This would be illegal in Australia..☹

Totally agree. :)

It does legitimately make me happy

What an awful comment.....I gave you an upvote!!!

Well if you wonder why the aliens didn't show up yet, here is one of the examples...

it's at least 200 years old, with some people saying that it dates back to Roman times.

@lillfrigg14 Haha thankyouuuu! I came third or fourth (couldn't tell LOL). Hopefully next year I can go back and win! XD

congrats!

Time stamp and description?!

@kanealiiwilcox502 3 minutes 27 seconds! (Dunno how to timestamp sorry lol) i get focussed in on. Light multicoloured pants and black top and i am BOUNCE rolling down lol. I got stuck at the back when I started cause i was the last one in but managed to slide past people then roll!

Right on man!!!!

that blew my mind too, i'm a huge, HUGE fan of that show. i looked things up on the map, and apparently chipping norton is only ten miles from the cheese roll, so a kaleb cooper appearance actually makes a whole lot of sense! it was a delightful surprise to see him!!

It's called Cooper's hill. Probably named after an ancestor

​@@andrewroberts7428 Its about 45mins from there bud (30+miles)

@@SendItAirsoft that's fine

​@@bp8652 coopers hill 😂

The guy in the light blue shirt that completely face planted at the end had to have a mouth full of dirt and grass lol

Oh you almost broke your neck? Yeah nothing to worry about. 0_o

How about "the ambulance ride was great"? So good to see this in today's "so sensitive" world!

Great ambiance.

Both quite stupid traditions, but at least in this one no animal cruelty, so that alone makes this better imo.

yeah my brother said that, it doesn't look 'that bad' on video.

They're not foreign, their colonialists and the Swiss are kindred spirits, William Tell = Robin Hood

You saw 2 foreigners. Hilarious stuff.

@@michaelc3977 The hilarity is concerning the fact that they came all that way to chase cheese, not the fact that they are foreign.

'Tis but a scratch!

Beg your pardon?

Haha

Bucket list?😊

@alanthomas2064 just appeared on my radar. It must be a blast...there has to be a significant amount of injuries

I did this in 2012 and don't even like cheese! 😅

Can't do that. There's traditions to be maintained, and this is England. Pads are not the done thing.

Wheres the fun in that

Nah mate, they're rugby players

Impact pillows are for Pansies.

Have you seen the Barbie jeep race in America??

Good point. I always thought this was from Ireland or Scotland. That bald man should have gone to the Eastern Front.

not sure if it was intended or not but " I am impressed that such steep hills do even exist in England " sent me, omg that's fucking gold.

You can see deliberate transitions into smooth rolling
