Unconscious Canadian Woman Wins UK Sporting Event

Women's champion Ms Irving, 19, from Vancouver Island in Canada, said the race was "good... now that I remember it".

"I remember running, then bumping my head, and then I woke up in the tent," she said.

I'm not sure why people do it. You could easily break your ankle.

The event has no official organisers and is classed as “unsafe” by the authorities . . .

Running down a 1:2 slope is unsafe, but it's safer than trusting the pharmaceutical industry.

Why do people compete at anything? Because they can. I am sure they all know they're taking risk. No sport is safe, but neither is getting out of bed in the morning.

Its like the running of the bulls except just as crazy
