Police stop famous cheese used for Cheese Rolling from being made
Police were branded crackers yesterday (Thurs) after banning an elderly grandmother from making a massive Double Gloucester for an annual cheese rolling event.Farmer Diana Smart, 86, has been making a special hand-made wheel of cheese for the downhill run for a quarter of a century.The event started in the early
1800s and sees daredevils chasing cheese down the 200-yard Cooper's
Hill near Brockworth, Glos.Every year the massive 1ft diameter cheese
has been rolled down the hill - followed by brave competitors who risk
life and limb to chase it and reach the bottom first.But Diana, who has provided the large piece of cheese since 1988, has now been warned
off doing so for this year's race on Monday - after a visit by
police.Three officers visited her farm and told her not to donate five
8lb wheels of her cheese - in a bid to prevent the dangerous event.Diana, who makes cheese at her Old Ley Court farm in Churcham, Glos, was warned she could be liable for anybody injured - and so has
pulled out.

UK: Gloucester cheese chasers go crackers for Rolling Festival
More than three thousand people from across the world came to Gloucestershire on Monday to race down Cooper's Hill after what were traditionally 7lb wheels of Double Gloucester cheese in the annual Cheese Rolling Festival. The unofficial event originated in the fifteenth century. Sadly, on this occasion the cheese rolls were replaced with foam discs.
The races occurred just days after master cheesemaker Diana Smart was warned by authorities that she could be held liable for any injuries suffered in the event involving her cheese. She has supplied the cheese for the races since 1988. Each year a number of people usually suffer mild injuries like sprained ankles or concussions since the hill is steep and uneven, but at the bottom of the hill first aid is offered by the local St John Ambulance, manned by a volunteer rescue group.
Participants did not need to register in advance to chase the cheese, they could simply show up, go to the top of the hill, and when the fake-cheese roll was released, run madly after it down the hill. The first person to cross the finish line after the cheese wins, although the participants are theoretically aiming to catch the cheese.
This goal can prove difficult, due to the cheese's one second head start and tendency to reach up to 70 mph (112 km/h) en route to the bottom. Since participants were chasing foam this year, it changed how fast the cheese went down the hill. The winner is expected to carry the cheese back up to the top of the hill during a shirtless victory ascent meant to symbolise man's role in the creation, release, pursuit and recapturing of dairy products.
Thanks to a few days of heavy rain, the ground was softened and former champion Chris Anderson was absent this year, the American Kenny Rackers proved victorious in the first race. Traditionally, only residents of the village of Brockworth could compete, but now it has become international. It was originally held on Whit Monday before being moved to Spring Bank Holiday, a holiday in England.
Participants headed to the nearby pub The Cheese Rollers for refreshments after the races.

Cheese Rolling 2013 Men's 1st Race
DESPITE the controversy leading up to the event, the 2013 cheese roll went ahead and 5,000 revellers were there to witness it.
Warnings from police fell on deaf ears and people arrived from all corners of the globe in their droves to take part in the madcap spectacle on Cooper's Hill in Brockworth.
And in reigning champion Chris Anderson's absence, a new king of the hill was crowned in 'Mr America' Kenny Rackers. The 27-year-old travelled all the way from Colarado to take part.
He said: I travelled 4,000 miles just to take part in the cheese roll.
I arrived three days early so I could have a few practice runs. I saw it on television and I really wanted to come here and win a cheese, and I did!
He raced to victory to the cheers of the onlookers who lined the steep slope.
Volunteers trimmed the grass on the hill prior to the event, fenced off areas for onlookers to sit and made sure the event ran smoothly on the day.
According to unofficial organisers the cheese was bought from a 'local shop' after police advised 86-year-old Diana Smart, who usually makes the cheese, against giving some to the event organisers.
Participants came from USA, Japan, Holland, Spain among other countries as well as a strong local contingent, including Ryan Fairley, winner of race four.
He said: I'm a local lad from Brockworth, and I know the cheese roll will keep going.
No one is going to stop this event no matter what.
Top 7 most dangerous sports in the world
hi welcome to my channel this video is about 7 most dangerous sports in the world so i hope you guys enjoy it please like this video and subscribe to my channel.
7.Jallikattu
Jallikattu also known as bull taming is another sport that involves bulls though it occurs on a different continent with a different set of rules Taking place in villages across Tamil Nadu during the Pongal (thanksgiving for plentiful harvests) festival this is a sport in which only one emerges the winner man or bull In one form of this sport a person has to hold on to the bull for a specified time or distance to win while a variant to this game involves releasing the bull into an open field with the participants trying to subdue the bull The dangers as can be anticipated are many and as many as 200 have died in this sport over the last two decades Also due to protests by animal activists against the cruelty meted out to the beasts the sport has been banned in the country
6.motocross race
Motocross is a form of off-road motorcycle racing held on enclosed off-road circuits Motocross is a thrilling off road motorcycle racing sport thats quickly gaining in popularity But with the thrill of the ride accelerating up dirt hills and cruising through muddy terrain comes the risk of injury The five most common motocross injuries are Ankle sprains
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears Broken collarbone Broken or sprained wrist
Rotator cuff tears and other shoulder injuriesBecause motocross accidents, falls, and collisions occur often, it’s important for riders to have proper, well-fitted safety equipment that is suited to their age, experience, and level of competition
5.England Cheese-Rolling
For more than a century a two day festival has been held in Gloucestershire England centered on a strange competition An 8-pound wheel of Double Gloucester cheese is rolled down a 200 yard hillside in the country A group of runners chases it trying to catch it The problem is that the hill is too steep for a human to stay upright so most of the runners fall awkwardly after a few steps and then tumble the rest of the way down Theoretically the cheese is given to the runner who catches it But since a wheel of cheese travels downhill much faster than the fragile and oddly shaped bipeds pursuing it the prize usually goes to the first person to reach the bottom of the hill Bumps and bruises are guaranteed, and more serious injuries are a definite possibility Local authorities have tried to discourage the festival reminding the organizers (including the manufacturer of the cheese) that they could be held liable for any cheese-rolling injuries
4.running of the bull
The sport of San Fermin or running of the bulls as it is more popularly known takes place on the 6th of July in Pamplona, Spain. It originally was a means to transport bulls from where they were bred to the bull ring where they would be slaughtered. Youngsters would jump in beside these bulls to show off their bravado. Over the years it developed into a sport marked by music, dancing and markets. The run starts off after the first two rockets and comes to an end with the third and fourth rockets signaling that the bulls have entered the bull-ring. The dangers of running with bulls are imaginably immense. Every year on an average 50-100 people get injured due to goring, asphyxiations, piling up of people leading to suffocation and even getting crushed by the bulls
The World Extreme Ironing Championships
The world’s press gathered for the inaugural World Championships, just outside Munich. Competitors weighed up the opposition before the start, but the atmosphere was that of friendly rivalry with the razzmatazz of a festival.
Over Eighty competitors from 10 countries from as far afield as Chile were drawn to the small village of Valley, in Germany. Competitors were tested on their abilities to cope with five ironing tasks in different environments ranging from rocky to forest, urban and water and finally freestyle. At each area, they had a different garment to iron.
The British team showed their domination of the sport in the last section; the freestyle. Although there were plenty of innovative rivals trying their luck.
These are some of the rushes from the day.
