Photos showed a man being carried away from the event on a stretcher, while an air ambulance was seen landing in a nearby field.
Rebel cheese rollers have been staging their own unofficial event after health and safety fears caused the official competition to be cancelled in 2010.
This year's event prompted a safety warning from the local ambulance, police and fire services, who warned they could be overwhelmed if there was a 'mass casualty incident'.
But it went ahead as planned, with Tom Kopke, a 23-year-old YouTuber from Munich, retaining the title he won last year.

Spain has the bulls in Pamplona, England has…whatever this is.
Every year prompts the same response from the services because journalists reach out to them.
What do people expect then to say.
Anyway all good fun.
