Its only held every year when the H&S safety officer for the town goes on his holiday to the coast, its supposed to be a big secret and the only way to find when its hosted every year is to keep an eye on the H&S officers Twitter feed, when he first mentions the date of his holidays, thats when you book your flights.

My grandparents used to live 10 minutes' walk from Coopers Hill. Its bloody steep. Anyone wanting to run down there, cheese or no, is taking a risk. Why on earth that can't be entirely their own responsibility to do so is beyond me.

These days many people is looking are looking for some one to blame or looking for something to be offended by.

You been on the p!ss as well?

I'm surprised at this when there are so many fatalities at the TT races.

Don't the majority of TT casualties involve non-competitors "having a go"?



Anyway, the TT brings in huge amounts of business and cash for the IoM so there's no way plod would be doing anything whatsoever to stop that event - even though it is a million times more dangerous than running down a grassy bank. If it was held in Gloucester, maybe Honda would get their collars felt and warned as to their potential liabilities for supplying the bikes?

The police aren't too bothered about the people rolling down a hill.



It's the 15,000 spectators who turned up at the last event that they are worried about. That many people on a steep hill with no barriers? Great idea.

Again, its people's own risk. Its a hill in the middle of nowhere, not an arena. Or are people now so immersed in the world of tweets that they expect safety measures to be the same standard on top of a hill as at Wembley?

Seemingly, they are. Otherwise they would not warn off providers of cheeses for rolling down same.





Why, what dreadful misfortune befell them?





It's a grassy bank, ffs. If you are worried about lots of people on steep hills, I suggest you steer clear of the Lake District.



Unbelievable.

TBF FA 15k people packed on a steep grassy hillside isn't something I've seen very often in the Lake District.
