Running down a hill after a hunk of cheese may sound and look funny but it is also quite dangerous. Because the hill is so steep and uneven there are always broken bones concussions and sprained ankles. Such injuries are so common in fact that an ambulance waits at the bottom of the hill to collect the participants with the inevitable injuries. Considering the risk involved in this event you might assume that the winner gets a spectacular prize. But the first person the reach the bottom of the hill receives no money no car not even a trophy. The winner simply gets to take home the cheese!
