The cheese was going like 80mph at the bottom of the hill and could potentially kill spectators and the catchers. The change to the cheese wasn't to protect the people chasing it. You also should wear goggles and helmets when BASE jumping. Situations can arise where the chute doesn't deploy properly and you have to quickly deal with a twist in the risers, or sometimes the chute opens pointing toward the wall and slams the pilot into it. That actually can be recoverable, assuming you don't get knocked out on impact. Having goggles helps give you a better chance of maintaining clear vision in the face of wind and debris. Basically, from the perspective of an extreme sport enthusiast, taking those seemingly pointless safety measures can actually be the thing that gives you enough extra margin to stay alive.
They were forced to use a fake cheese because of one went into the crowd and hit someone a few years ago. I suppose being hit by a10 pound cheese travelling at 70 miles an hour could be a bit painful
In extreme sports the competitors accept the risk, not onlooking spectators. For example the 1955 Le Mans disaster, the driver knew the risk while the 83 killed spectators never thought their safety was even in question. During the Isle of Man TT fatalities are expected and tragically the norm. Riders know the risk and still willingly choose to compete, spectators however must be protected.
lol it’s a lump of cheese rolling down that hill I promise you lol I’ve seen it, broke my little toe trying to catch the dam thing, this woman was a beast for the way she sent it
I graduated NC State, and still live here in NC, but for 3 years while growing up I lived in the tiny village of Sheepscombe (pop. ~300) in Gloucestershire. It's within walking distance of Coopers Hill where the contest takes place. It's nice to see her win again!
This video was preceded by, of all things, an ad for a local personal injury lawyer. "Were you injured in an automobile accident?" he asks the viewer. Couldn't help replying aloud, "No, I was injured in a cheese-rolling competition."
Netflix has a short series of documentaries... from a few years ago... 1st or second in the series is a half hour on this cheese rolling tradition... worth a look(as is the rest of the series)... this segment here doesn't really do it justice...
A few dislocated bones for a story you can tell your children, and your children’s children, and their children’s children about… worth every bit of it!
Yeah, but as a doctor I've seen very bad injuries from everyday stuff... at least this person knows the risks. Car crashes, falls or just freak accidents probably cause way worse damage. AND, some gymnasts and stunt people know how to fall quite wall (there is a proper technique) and can come out of it without much injury
@2:14 "In recent years they use foam 'cheese' for safety reasons." I don't understand how foam cheese is going to keep the competitors from getting mangled in the pursuit.
A few years ago the block of cheese hit a spectator at the bottom of the hill going 60+ mph and caused injury. The fake cheese is for the safety of the people at the bottom of the hill waiting to catch it.
Watching this makes me think these adults never rolled down hills as kids or never seen any parkour videos bc if you know, there's a specific way to roll to avoid injury. You use one of your shoulders to roll on to the back of the shoulder blade bc the shoulder helps absorbs the impact blows from your body hitting the ground
Honestly surprised she didn't break anything - usually people who roll down like that end up with broken arms and she's still bouncing around like there was nothing to it. Definitely has some serious falling skills.
GREAT WORK ABBY! We finally get a kid off the sofa. And these 2 reporters ask, Why would you want to have fun outside with friends? Yeah it's a foam wheel they throw. She gets the real Cheese with her Medals at the Final Ceremonies!
Her strategy, in a nutshell, is literally to be the only one reckless enough to conceive giving this race a running start 😂
Like a real american: no thoughts about the consequences, but a 100% full commitment.

except, if you saw, that's how all the men do it, that's how its done.. she's just the only WOMAN to be brave enough to do it right. lol

Replacing the cheese for safety reasons is like wearing goggles for safety while jumping off a skyscraper.
except even stupider than that.
Not if your aim is to protect the cheese.

I was like, did she just say 1826 after saying 2000 years, AHAHAH.
hahahhaha RIGHT! he kinda tried to save her by saying "yeah and even further back" lmao!
Maybe she meant Two hundred.
@@jcgrx2251She did. It’s possible there was a typo she was reading, too - we can’t discount that since she was looking it up on the internet.
"written" evidence
They give you real cheese as the prize! But the one you chase down the hill would get busted and damaged so you don’t chase that one.
or a 7 pound lump of cheese going 60+ mph could do some damage if it hit a spectator.
lol it’s a lump of cheese rolling down that hill I promise you lol I’ve seen it, broke my little toe trying to catch the dam thing, this woman was a beast for the way she sent it
Wiki says they replaced the real cheese with foam in 2013, then went back to real cheese the next year.

I'm certain this "sport" would never fly in America, the lawyers and insurance companies would put a halt on that 😂
She was born for this
She's got that tumbleweed physique
Abby wasn't lying. She really sent it.
There are rugby players at the bottom of the hill to “help” stop you!
Hmm more like wrestlers but,“Help” indeed 😂😂🤣
Only old people understand how crazy this is
And wish they’d been there fifty years ago 😂

Me too 😂😂

The prize is still real cheese.
yes, which isnt a lot
The reporter's priorities: what happens to that 9 pounds of cheese?
They ask it to every winner every year, its tradition
That's all I'm wondering
Definitely better to be bendy and fluid falling like that. Bend don’t break!
Well this is something ahaha. You did your state of north carolina proud but you also made the rest of America proud too 🇺🇸😄
“First recorded evidence goes back 2000 years to 1826” what math is that 😂
maybe it's the new math parents keep complaining about
She said written evidence.

@@Wayzor_ it being 198 years and not 2000 is the point😂😂😂

I have stood at the top of that hill and it is super steep. Hats off to those brave (nuts) enough to hurl themselves down it.
As old as Cheesus!
Blessed are the cheese makers.

I wrecked my back when I was 23... it was the first injury I ever had that didn't immediately go away. Took 5 years to recover.
*WOW* I respect her, what a girl! 💪🏾💥
The timing and reflexes needed to do a controlled tumble like that is hard. One wrong move and something breaks. She good .
Damn, she can roll down a hill with the best of them...

Talk about high food prices lol

Good job! 👍 Bring that cheese back to the states! 💪
