a group of 10 experienced cavers were descending into a cave when they came across a very narrow passage they had learned about the cave before entering and decided to go through one of its most difficult sections four of them chickened out leaving only six inside they kept going and managed to squeeze through the tightest part of the cave however they didn’t realize that above ground a sudden and intense thunderstorm had begun according to their map there was supposed to be a small stream in the cave but the water level was rising at an alarming rate realizing the danger they decided to turn back and exit the cave however they were already 3 hours in and the water was pouring in even faster the six cavers desperately tried to swim up the cave to reach larger Chambers but all of them drowned

  1. No thanks. I think this is worse than sky diving. Both will kill you but at least with sky diving you die quickly with a great view. These guys go stuck between rock walls with no room to breath for hours or days.

  2. I like the tourist caves where everyone stands around in a group, plenty of room, no danger of drowning or getting stuck, and then you visit the gift shop afterwards.

  3. If there's not enough room for me to move around in, I am not going in that space. If I have to crawl and not walk to where I need to go I am not going in there.

  4. I wonder what the reward is for cave explorers?
    Maybe they find an unexplored chamber, maybe not. Maybe they die doing it, maybe not. Have I missed something?

  5. I would've chickened out at the initial invite. I refuse to go into any cave that has periodic or consistent water running through it. Or any cave where I'm forced to crawl.
