My 8 year old son always asks to go explore caves because he loves bats and wants to see them. I’m just like
Closing that cave was for the best considering they had to do expensive rescues of 6 different people in 6 months in that same spot in the cave before this guy finally was the one they couldn't save
They sealed off a lot of caves but stupid folks keep finding ways in anyways convinced its like a frontier they have to conquer.
I mean, if we can bring waivers they can sign to forgo help if they get stuck, then sure open it back up.
But spelunking in mega tight spaces is stupid as hell. This guy for example
Yup. Stupid.
Cave diving is even worse. It's so dumb even extremely experienced folks die regularly.
warning*** this is horrifying to watch if you are claustrophobic so be warned.
Shit man, the "experienced" explorers run into problems all the time.Nobody could convince me to do this, even with a gun to my head. There is a great chance that inexperienced 'explorers' never make it back out. The potential dangers outweigh the excitement, I guess.
Thx without people having the balls to go into.People like to clown about Darwin awards when someone dies pushing the limits or doing something seemingly foolish, but without these kinds of risk takers humanity advances (evolves, you might say) at a much slower rate.
You need these kinds of fearless odd balls, or who is going to be the first parachute jumper, deep sea welder, skyscraper worker, etc.?
That said, rough way to go, and I'd never be doing that sort of thing, even though I thoroughly enjoy a good adventure.
He was experienced , but sadly took a wrong turn inside. Horrible death.Nobody could convince me to do this, even with a gun to my head. There is a great chance that inexperienced 'explorers' never make it back out. The potential dangers outweigh the excitement, I guess.

Did Cowboy Cerrone almost die doing that?Cave diving is even worse. It's so dumb even extremely experienced folks die regularly.
You tell your son that those caves lead right to hell. Might buy you some time.My 8 year old son always asks to go explore caves because he loves bats and wants to see them. I’m just like
Yeah, I've never understood the appeal of uncomfortably crawling around in a dark cave.
Yeah. If it was less squeezing and there was actually something to see, I could get behind it. But there isn’t. It’s just squeezing through ricks to see more rocks.Yeah, I absolutely do not get it. There's no prize at the end of the tunnel. Except cave.
