Caving is an amazing adventure... but sometimes it comes with a really high price. Stay safe our there, everyone!

If this cave is "beginner friendly" then caving is seriously not a hobby for me

"There was also The Maze - a confusing jumble of tiny chambers and tight corridors that were fun to explore."

Yeah, fuck that.

"Safe for beginners"
Has a section named "THE SCOUT EATER"

I’m so excited to wake up every day, get out of bed, and never step foot in a cave.

This video did a great job of changing my interest in cave exploration from 1% to 0%.

The rescuer that got himself stuck in there trying to help him is one of the bravest soul I have ever heard of. He literally pushed himself into hell for some guy he had never even met.

The ONLY way I will ever explore a cave is walking. The moment I have to crawl, I’m out

I find it also interesting that previously, a 16 year old boy was stuck in the exact same place as John did. It seems like they should have blocked the area off or perhaps even put signs warning people that the area was not the actual birth canal. Such a tragic story. And for John a horrific way to go.

My heart sank when they said he could see the rescuer and the rope gave out sending him back in that space. What a horrible way to die.

@srdjankovic 5 years ago

How was this considered to be a beginner friendly cave when there are places in it that were unexplored with no warning not to go any further?

@TROONGALA 5 years ago

this man was literally dying and when asked how he was doing he just said "this sucks"

The best part of caving is that it's entirely optional

@NikkiBdraws 5 years ago

His body still being in those caves is the most horrifying part to me.

@MikeMaris 5 years ago

The saddest part of this whole thing is that he was so close to being saved

@Rose0004 5 years ago

"Unaware of the danger, John crawled onwards, until he couldn't." Such a sad, terrifying sentence.

@kingfish2703 3 years ago

Theres not enough money on this planet that could convince me to ever crawl into a cave like that

@lyonsrawrs 4 years ago

The scariest aspect to me as how helpless everyone was in this situation. Like all the proper authorities were notified, they had tons of equipment and trained rescuers. And it just didn't matter.

@PurpleMintSam 5 years ago

It's official, folks. We've found the worst way to die.

And, of course, when they declared this cave (most of which was so narrow that you had to literally crawl to get through) "beginner-friendly" they never thought of sealing off or marking the parts that were unexplored and thus not to be ventured into. Because who would ever get lost in a set of dark extremely narrow passages and take the wrong turn?

In my opinion a "beginner-friendly" cave is one that you can walk upright completely through, with the correct path being clearly marked. Anything harder than that isn't "beginner-friendly".
