The 2024 Cheese Rolling Competition, in Slow Motion

Every May in Gloucester, UK, people gather at Cooper's Hill to chase a large wheel of cheese down the very steep slope. It's less a race than energetic falling, and there are always injuries of some sort. The first to the bottom wins the cheese. Dan Gruchy and Gavin Free, the Slow Mo Guys, were there last month to capture the mayhem on their high-speed camera in order to show us the race in slow motion. If you're in a hurry, the race heats start at about two minutes in. After several heats, we get the glorious high-definition slow-motion footage of the carnage at about 5:45, which results in perfectly clear stills of uncontrolled bodies flying every which way. Ouch.
