gwalchmai Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 That's gut-wrenching. Prayers for the poor guy and his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.Cicero Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Ugh. I used to do that. Horrifying way to die. I wasn't crazy enough try unexplored passages, though. And I had a policy of letting bigger people go first (figuring if they fit, then I would be ok), and I hated having anyone behind me because I wanted to be able to back up if my claustrophobia decided to put in an unwanted appearance. (I never know - I've been so fine in MRI tubes that I've fallen asleep for 45 minutes, and I've had fMRIs where I had to have them stop before I was halfway into the tube, pull me out, and have the helmet and padding that immobilizes my head/neck/shoulders removed - I was ok after a minute and they put everything back and the 90 minute MRI went fine, which just told me I needed to be prepared in advance mentally for being immobilized. It might be that more than the small space itself that it my problem? Anyway, I'm not caving anywhere I can't stand up anymore, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aomagrat Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I went into Linville Caverns OK, but I could walk up right. I don't like crawling anywhere I can't stand up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batesmotel Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 We have a couple bodies still underground here. Just capped the cave off with fill and concrete. Sad but happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 A situation like that gives you ample time to methodically think through the options and attempt various maneuvers that could improve your situation. Skydivers get three seconds of abject panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minervadoe Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 The idea of caving freaks me out. The gap between experienced cavers and dangerous novices has to be huge. When they brought those 12 Thai kids out of that cave, the boys were sedated to prevent them from panicking. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-44695232 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maser Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I have zero sympathy for anyone who voluntarily participates in a dangerous hobby and then gets killed doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Participants in those hobbies / sports don't either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
