A CHEESE chasing daredevil is flipping lucky to be alive after taking a brutal tumble down a steep hill.

Astonishing footage capturing 22-year-old Ty Loerzer Fitzjones being launched into the air and executing a somersault has been viewed over 100 million times.

Miraculously Ty walked away from the horror tumble with only cuts and bruises and was knocking back a pint in the pub hours later.

Doctors were left astonished that he survived the fall without breaking any bones, or worse.

He should have done it more Caerphilly but escaped with his em-mental health intact.

Crackers music student Ty has been dubbed The Cheese Wizard and is being mobbed by stunned fans.

Footage of his fall is quickly becoming a global sensation on TikTok and YouTube.

Ty visited the cheese rolling event in Gloucestershire with pals last Monday, dressed in a long black cape and pointy hat.

From Kilburn, London, Ty joined thousands of visitors from around the world who gather every year.

He was determined to break the course record for the fastest descent in pursuit of a 7lb wheel of Double Gloucester.

This event, with roots stretching back to 1826, sees daring participants racing the cheese to be the first to reach the bottom of Cooper’s Hill, despite it reaching speeds up to 100 km/h as it careens down the 180-meter descent.

Ty said: “Years ago, growing up in France, I saw a Netflix documentary about cheese rolling and thought it looked like great fun.

“It was a glorious day, there was a really nice friendly atmosphere even though we had to wait an hour for The Cheese Master to start the race.

“I didn’t have a strategy, but my girlfriend Lola stitched a chinstrap on my hat to keep it secure and took charge of my glasses to prevent them from breaking, and then I just took off tumbling down the hillside.”

“I started running, thinking ‘This is easy, I’m beating everybody’ but then I lost my footing and suddenly there was a big drop, and that’s when I thought ‘Oh dear, this is not what I planned.’

“The next thing I remember is waking up in hospital three hours later in a compression suit and everything was a bit fuzzy.”

When he came round after three hours, Ty was given a CAT scan and a number of cognitive tests.

Astonishingly there was no sign of brain trauma, and he hadn’t even fractured any bones.

He was discharged without pain medication and headed to a nearby boozer where he was mobbed by tourists who witnessed his fall and were stunned to see him up and about.

Ty commented: “I’ve got a massive bruise on the top of my skull, cuts and scratches all down my arms and back, and I ache all over but I’m very grateful to still be here.

“I can laugh about the whole kerfuffle but it wasn’t funny for my friends watching or my parents when they got the frightening phone call saying I was unconscious in the back of an ambulance.

“It’s my first near death experience and it doesn’t feel real yet.

“I definitely would not do cheese rolling again, I’m not going to push my luck.

“I wouldn’t let anyone I love do it either, it’s really dangerous and people are injured every year – it’s not safe.

“It’s very weird to think hundreds of millions of people around the world have watched me fall over, but I’m not embarrassed – I survived relatively unharmed.”
