Safety Fears Foil Flan Flingers' Bid For World Record
"An attempt to host the world's biggest custard pie fight has been cancelled after police raised health and safety fears. The event was to take place in Brighton on Friday. But Sussex Police pulled the plug after more than 1,200 people signed up to take part. Officers feared that they would not have the manpower to control the fun and passers-by could be attacked by pie-throwers"

I don't suppose it was really the Police that stopped it, more likely the insurance company.
That just looks like fun!
