Japanese log riding

(Reader Contribution to Another 10 of the World's Most Bizarre Competitions)


In Sawa City, Japan, as a part of an ancient religious festival, 5-6 men will ride a wooden log downhill. It's held every 6 or 7 years, and has had a huge death toll. Naturlally, almost all of the deaths occur, when the riders or witnesses are crushed by the 10-ton log. But his looks fun! I don't wanna hear about Japan's government trying to do something about it - They've got plenty of people to go around. And of course, i meant that last sentence as a joke.
