Broken bones and bruises were order of the day when hundreds of people took part in an ancient English tradition - CHEESE-ROLLING. Several runners were injured during the annual event, where they hurtle down a 200-yard hill at speeds up to 70mph in a bid to become the first to catch a rolling wheel of cheese - including one man who broke his collarbone and another who snapped his wrist. Dozens of the runners also suffered cuts, scrapes and bruises after the treacherous run, and one young man suffered a suspected dislocated shoulder and a woman is thought to have broken her ankle.
