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.
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.
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!
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
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
Jesus guys, you can't use "give it the old college try" twice within 30 seconds in the same segment. News anchors need to give up on the accent and the attempts to be funny, and just talk like people. You're your own caricature. Love the cheese rolling! I watch every year!
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.
@@PsychoSpiral well said 🤣
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

Falling down a hill twice when your young is fine. Falling for a career is where you trade money for health.
@@robinlaszlo
she already trades in health for cheese.
like come on man

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.

Hey, have you ever gotten pavement in the eye ?
It _really_ hurts !
"goes back 2 thousand years"
"first written evidence in 1826"
the math ain't mathin' there my dear
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.

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 😂
There are rugby players at the bottom of the hill to “help” stop you!
Hmm more like wrestlers but,“Help” indeed 😂😂🤣
😅😅😅she definitely sent it. I was dieing
Me too 😂😂
"dying"
dying*
Only old people understand how crazy this is
And wish they’d been there fifty years ago 😂
The prize is still real cheese.
yes, which isnt a lot
Definitely better to be bendy and fluid falling like that. Bend don’t break!
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
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😂😂😂
2000 years was Jesus time

I think she’s nailed the technique. Roll like the cheese! 🙌🏻
Blessed are the cheese makers.

Good job! 👍 Bring that cheese back to the states! 💪
I'm from the uk the Americans do make me laugh
We know we’re back problems originated from
- "What's your strategy coming in?"
- "Fully send it!"
Damn, she can roll down a hill with the best of them...
The Americans hate to say English for some odd reason? Gloucester is in England, so it's an English tradition!
What a legend. Go Abby!
A couple should dress as Westley and buttercup
Talk about high food prices lol
Time to check for CTE symptoms.
lol the woman newscaster is keepin it real

Abby Lampe, Kimmy Gebbia...the fact they have thr most American names imaginable is what makes this really funny
They win a real roundel of cheese, they just don't throw one down the hill anymore
It's not fake cheese, they win real cheese.

Damn, she really did send it.
She makes it look easy. Like Steph making threes, or Messi dribbling.
Something she's going to annoy her grandchildren for the rest of their lives.
It’s real cheese! I won in 2005 and they changed it in 2001.
I've heard of goat cheese before but never a cheese goat 🐐
Once the lady in red found out the cheese thrown down the hill was fake she completely lost interest in this story. 😂
THAT WOMEN IS AMAZING! USA KICKING BRITAIN'S ASS ONCE AGAIN!
There is no evidence to suggest this tradition is 2000 years old. It was first "recorded" in 1826, but it is thought to be about 700 years old.
Are these news reporters that dim…they obviously don’t eat foam, they get real 🧀
Gloss-te-sheer. As a Brit it always cracls me up when Americans try say it.
This is news. Politics free. The pursuit of the good, true, and beautiful.
Let's go NC State!!
*sniffs* I feel so proud to be a North Carolinian :')
She looked terrified 😂
It's insane! 🙏🏾🇬🇧
It's a sport where the drunker you get the better you do.
Those cheese wheels have gotten lots smaller over the years lol.
