9. Cooper's Hill Cheese Roll (England)
Let's start with the most hazardous festival. Cooper's Hill, in Gloucestershire, is the site of the Cooper's Hill Cheese Roll. This festival sees dozens hurl themselves down a hill to get oversized wheels of Double Gloucester Cheese.
The Cheese Roll has seen many broken bones, but thankfully no one has died in the 195 years of its existence (although eight people got struck by lightning during the edition in 1982). Every year, thousands of spectators line the sides of this hill to watch the competitors. The best is Chris Anderson, a 22-time winner (who does not like cheese).
