Ain't no party if it aint a cheese party!

"St John's ready for flying cheese "

Quote

Each year thousands of people gather to watch others chase Double Gloucester cheeses down the hill.

Injuries can include cuts, grazes, bruises, broken bones and dislocations as well as head injuries.

The traditional event on Bank Holiday Monday can result in injuries to the crowds from flying cheese or to people chasing the giant cheese down the steep hill near Brockworth.

The cheese looks kind of small to me.  They should get big two or three foot wide wheels next time.
