Cooper’s Hill Hosts The Annual Cheese Rolling And Wake

BROCKWORTH, ENGLAND - MAY 27: People sit and watch as contestants in the uphill race climb the steep gradient of Cooper's Hill during the annual Bank Holiday tradition of cheese-rolling on May 27, 2013 in Brockworth, Gloucestershire, England. Although no longer a officially organised event since 2009, thousands of spectators still gathered to watch contestants from around the world tumbling down the 200m slope, which has a 1:1 gradient in parts, in a series of races that are said to date back hundreds of years, with the winner of each receiving a cheese. Injuries such as broken arms and legs are commonplace. (Photo by Matt Cardy/Getty Images)
