Hey I’m the guy tumbling at 14.30 and getting carried off - I broke my arm and dislocated my shoulder - great video!

Hope you fully recovered Adam. I do miss this wacky event. 2021 maybe? Hope so.

Hey Adam, Sorry to hear you got hurt! I hope everything healed up neatly. I'm the guy in the red bathrobe tumbling into the frame at 7:06 btw. Hope to see you all in 2022! Ps: thanks Ian for uploading the footage!

I love this - it’s so hilariously British, and I love the caring element with the catchers and everyone cheering for the injured people. Critics could say it’s what happens to people who have free healthcare!

Haha live dangerous, live longer.❤

[@idawong9446]

what time did you get there to get that spot btw?

[@gillwood]

Hi Ida Wong. We arrived at about one hour before the start but should have got there earlier to get a better position. Last year I was right next to the fence and had a better position to video the event.

did the guys in yellow spendex and cheese blocks compete?

[@gillwood]

Hi Ida. The guys dressed as cheese went down the hill at the very end (they're on the video).

it reminds of the redbull race where climbers race to get to the top of a very very steep hill

[@ebl36]

Is that Ben Fogle at 4:32?

[@CamandThings]

What kind of cheese is that?
