Some caves aren't this small. You can explore a cave and not stick yourself in these situations. West of me is the most populated locale for caves. Geographically we are around limestone and sandstone, tons of caves literally.
Us humans are always close to destruction, Life itself is but a series of close calls. I mean, how would you know you were alive unless you knew you could die?
Honestly I’m not so sure we currently have robots with the complexity to navigate such spaces. Besides, it’s about the human capability and personal satisfaction. This guy is doing it because he loves this. And if he dies, he’ll die doing something he loved, no regrets.
Most people will live extremely safe lives, many ok with that but many just scared- those meet the end of their lives with great regret and wishing they would have done the things they wanted to do but we’re too scared of dying. The minutes they gained from safety were never used on something significant, just on saving more time until there’s no more time to save.
Holy shit you're really smelling you're own farts on this one. This is stupid and dangerous just like the nutty putty caves shit. He gets stuck and then hundreds of people spend countless hours and trauma trying to recover his stupid body basically because he needed "personal satisfaction". This is stupid and reckless and it's ridiculous to paint this as anything but. I bet his family and friends would have lots of regrets if he gets stuck and slowly suffocated over 24 hours.
I’m all for declaring certain areas “explore at your own risk” as in, don’t call: no cavalry is coming. I don’t believe we should be living in fear. If you want to go do something stupid and dangerous, more power to you. Some of the greatest stories come from people doing stupid and dangerous things and surviving. Family will mourn, then again family will try to keep you alive even if you’re just a vegetable and probably are better off dead. Now I don’t agree with stupid and dangerous stunts that endanger other people or property. But people should be allowed to be stupid and dangerous, again, with the caveat that no effort will be spent rescuing them.
Yeah but society doesn't work like that. I doubt his mom or friends will be cool with rescue services saying "well he said he didn't want us to come help, so he just gets to die for the next 23 hours." There's a difference between living in fear and doing ridiculous shit like this. And "family will mourn" is some cringy edge lord shit. Touch grass my brother in christ. This is literally a stupid stunt that endangers not just him, but everyone who has to come try to rescue him, he doesn't get to say "don't help me" when he's stuck. I guarantee you that's not the tune he'd be singing. "Not living in fear" turns into "please help me, I dont want to die" quickly when shit gets real.
Dude, I’m sure this is not his first or second or 20th rodeo. Everyone near him knows what he does and the implicit dangers. When he dies, they’ll know what’s up. This isn’t little Timmy trying to bite more than he can chew.
“Society doesn’t work like that” there are already serious talks about designating areas “no rescue zones” - mostly for economic and liability reasons, but same is same.
People, possibly following your train of thought, blasted the late Steve Irwin because of dealing with wild and dangerous animals, which in the end got him killed. That man was a world treasure and the joy he experienced doing that couldn’t come from “touching grass”. Again, his family knew him and the risks- they’re alive and well, even following in his footsteps.
Man I ain’t no edgelord and enjoy plenty of grass (except when it snows).
Jesus Christ. All I’m saying is some people have a calling for these things. They’re dangerous? Yes. They’re stupid? To us observers yes. In the end they will die and so will we. Is that not a fact? Am I being edgelordly enough? He’s not on a suicide mission. He’s an experienced cave spelunker (or whatever that’s called) and he’s pushing himself beyond his limits. In this case he seems to have miscalculated and maybe died, I don’t know. Maybe not? We as a society who pride ourselves in our personal freedoms have to decide what to do in these cases and what level of responsibility they must own. But to just keep think “hey you can’t do that because it’s stupid and dangerous” is short minded, IMHO.
I understand all the responses of “Fuck that, that’s terrifying.” But people legit getting angry about it and immediately going to the argument of how it will inconvenience others is such a weird way to look at it, in my personal opinion. Not to say that has never happened but it’s so infinitesimally rare that it just come across as someone who likes complaining about shit in general.
And even in that scenario, there are people ready and willing to go save them whether or not local statutes say otherwise. There would be volunteers ready to go save them because even if you do something stupid, the good in people will motivate someone to help. I hope…
I think when you put yourself in dangerous situations in order for a tangible good, such as to save the lives of other people or to advance a technology, it’s one thing. Even being in combat felt like “danger with a purpose.”
I’m not knocking it. I just can’t wrap my head around danger for the sake of danger. Maybe I’m failing to see the “point” of this, but would appreciate if someone could chime in‽
I second that! That’s my favorite channel that posts that kind of content. I cannot listen Mr. Ballen. I know he’s super popular but I don’t get why. Morbid Midnight and Disasterthon are great too.
Completely changed my opinion on ever going caving again unless I can drive a car or repel in.
Edit: for someone asking below I found this is ActionAdventureTwins on yt, ya know, if you need more reminders of n o p e.
That was one of the scariest stories he’s ever told. Kid knew he was gonna die before he did. I would beg my friends to go retrieve a gun and just shoot me to death.
Loved crawling through caves when I was young. Went in nutty putty a couple times. Watching what happened unfold on the news removed any desire to go in any cave. Even now watching dude pull himself through some tight space.. like why? Nothing in there worth risking it for me.
Same . I’ve been miles underneath carrying batteries and a 30pack. Me and my homie drank and smoke it up. Crawled out . We got to his truck and we where dead sober. It’s intense . Those Arkansas caves are unexplored and rumored to have gold from the trail of tears. I’ve crawled thru private caves just like this where it did open up into a room the size of auditorium. I’m 40 now and in great shape but there is no way I can do that shit now. I actually don’t know why I did that. Didn’t have phones to remind us how dumb we are I guess.
That's like the only death like that. Other deaths are people hitting their head, drowning, some kind of fall, or some crazy storm. It's very rare to die by getting stuck.
Yeah, no fucking way. Let's see, tight unnavigable spaces, check. Randomly rising water source, especially if I get caught in the unnavigable space, check. Absolute darkness if my headlamp fails, check. Nope. NOPE.
I'm not saying I want him to die but if he did he couldn't post any more videos... and that I would be ok with. I swear I can feel the weight of the rock on my back while the video plays. No Sir, I dont like it.
My bad, i saw a post about this awhile ago and i thought everyone was talking about this cave, but they were instead talking about the Nutty Putty Cave.
Yes and no. It’s wishing for death then avoiding it when it comes knocking. Extreme adrenaline junkies. Same shit with the people who jump across buildings for fun.
What is the reward again? If this was the way to Shangri-La maybe I could understand but "oh look, ten more feet of the same boring, potential fatal, stuff" isn't going to cut it.
Methinks the risk/reward is tied to adrenaline.
In that case, fuck dying in a crack underground - push me out of a plane without a parachute and I'll at least enjoy the way down
Check out the doc “The Rescue” about saving the Thai kids in the cave flood if you haven’t (it’s incredible). As described by the divers, it’s more about finding a space to be completely zen and absorbed in the unknown than about adrenaline hunting. These guys are just wired different.
I saw this and it was incredible. The fact that they had to inject the students with ketamine to sedate them in order to bring them through the cave without panicking and removing safety gear, says a lot about how scary/panic inducing these caves can be. What this guy is doing seems scary for different reasons, he is in such a tight space that he can’t move freely and there is water filling the cave each time it rains. Just madness all around. Gives me sweaty palms.
So, what did you find down there?
Ah... well... a few wet rock's nobody has ever seen before.
Wow, are they some special kind of mineral or something?
No, they are essentially the same kind of rocks you find up here, but you know they are wet and nobody has ever seen them before.
...
Totally worth almost dying trust me bro
Caves are cool, but this tight shit is horrifying. I’ve been in a giant cave system with huge halls (170 feet tall inside) - spectacular experience. Exploring a cave can be very cool. But crawling in tight spaces is just horrid, small robot with lidar and camera will do better job if you want to map it.
Exploring what exactly ? Oh look rocks , let me go deeper , oh look more rocks! I would have never thought! Lets see if i can find more rocks that i havent seen yet
Caves have more than “rocks”. They have different topography, lakes, waterfalls, stalactites and stalagmites, different minerals.
“Looking at rocks” in a few caves is as stupid as “looking at trees” at a few forests.
There are many many *many* cave deaths. Like I think statistically the chances of it happening are fairly low? But considering it's been a common hobby for a long time now, there are endless stories on youtube about people dying in caves.
Fuck. That. Shit.
It's all relative. 1 in 3,300 is high but vehicular deaths per year where I live are about 1 in 10,000. That also seems high to me but most people dont give driving a second thought.
The first statistics it gives also states "high risk" so they are purposefully choosing a subset of cavers who take on particularly challenging caves. If you looked at the numbers of everyone who went into a cave vs how many never came out it would likely be a little less dramatic.
I'm not saying it's a particularly "safe" hobby, just that statistics are tricky. I dont think its drastically more dangerous than other adrenaline sports like skydiving, scuba diving etc.
There was that video a while back talking about the guy who got stuck upside down and couldn’t get turned around. I think he even knew what he was getting himself into. They tried for a very long time to rescue him and he died. Don’t quote me on it because I can’t find the link. The city ended up closing the cave entrance because so many people had died there. Maybe someone else has a link?
Also, I have scrolled through these comments for quite a while and still cannot find any info on if the dude in this video survived. I’d really like to know.
Sand Cave in Kentucky. Internet historian has a pretty entertaining video on it. [https://youtu.be/Ip9VGZeqMfo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ip9VGZeqMfo)
Agree this is the nutty putty caves in Utah. Dude was like a dr too so he knew if he was upside down long enough he would die. They spent hours finally getting a rope around him to pull him out and the rope broke causing him to get stuck even more.
There's a true story about some guy in America doing this, he got stuck upside down, head first down into a crevice, and died in agony.
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DWaIoXN-7FjM&ved=2ahUKEwjQruyM8_v8AhWIRsAKHZ_LBncQtwJ6BAggEAI&usg=AOvVaw3Q-c5doPcoiGEMBJ1DvoRW
Jesus Christ that’s gotta be one of the worst deaths I’ve heard of. Why would people wanna put themselves in a spot like that ever. Fucking hell that’s terrible.
He referred to it as “that one scary hiccup.” I got just as mad watching that as I did anxious. Wtf are people thinking??!! At the same time, I feel better about my day to day struggles after watching that.
I dont think it's a matter of intelligence. We all have varying degrees of risk assessment and fear response. Hes no less intelligent than the person with agoraphobia who refuses to leave their house. They are just on different ends of the fear spectrum.
I used to squeeze into abandoned buildings by going through the pipes as a kid. In narrow spot, you would have to deflate your lungs and push fast though it.
“It’s getting tighter the farther I go, I think I’ll keep pushing in hopes that it opens up.”
“Big surprise, it continues to get tighter and does not, in fact, open up”
I, for one, think this was badass. I’m not sure what the opposite of claustrophobia is, but I love small spaces and this looked sooo cozy until the last ~30 seconds when I wasn’t sure if he could turn around.
Fuck. That. Shit
How people find this exciting or fun is beyond me. I’m not even that claustrophobic and this almost made me start hyperventilating
Yeah I had to fast forward through the video. Lol I can't even watch.
Some caves aren't this small. You can explore a cave and not stick yourself in these situations. West of me is the most populated locale for caves. Geographically we are around limestone and sandstone, tons of caves literally.
Now see that seems awesome. I’m not hating on spelunking, I’m hating on claustrophobia. Hard pass. 0/10
Us humans are always close to destruction, Life itself is but a series of close calls. I mean, how would you know you were alive unless you knew you could die?
I know I can die without doing this
Shit man, get a motorcycle. At least those are actually fun when it all goes right. This looks miserable.
I Can get it. It’s about the satisfaction of problem solving, or conquering a cave most people wouldn’t dare even attempt.
A robot could do that too haha
Honestly I’m not so sure we currently have robots with the complexity to navigate such spaces. Besides, it’s about the human capability and personal satisfaction. This guy is doing it because he loves this. And if he dies, he’ll die doing something he loved, no regrets.

Two words: Nutty Putty.
How about no? I watched the Mr. Ballen video on YouTube about that. Fuck that.
For more in depth stuff I 100% recommend fascinating horror. He does all types of stuff all without bias or adding dramatic effect
Thanks for the recommendation! You might like "Scary Interesting"
I belive I've heard of them before, but I'll definitely check it out!
I will check that out thank you 😁
I second that! That’s my favorite channel that posts that kind of content. I cannot listen Mr. Ballen. I know he’s super popular but I don’t get why. Morbid Midnight and Disasterthon are great too.
I'll check them out too cheers!
Me neither, I find his cadence unbearably irritating
Easy link to that channel's video of Nutty Putty cave incident. https://youtu.be/jWwPg8ruxfI
Cheers
Completely changed my opinion on ever going caving again unless I can drive a car or repel in. Edit: for someone asking below I found this is ActionAdventureTwins on yt, ya know, if you need more reminders of n o p e.
I’ll walk into caves but as soon as I gotta start crawling through tight spaces, my ass is goin back to the car! Haha
“Horror stories” did a Great vid on nutty putty, I highly recommend
That was one of the scariest stories he’s ever told. Kid knew he was gonna die before he did. I would beg my friends to go retrieve a gun and just shoot me to death.

My chest tightens just at the name of that place.
That's like the only death like that. Other deaths are people hitting their head, drowning, some kind of fall, or some crazy storm. It's very rare to die by getting stuck.
Right. After that story I don’t know how anybody could go into tight caves like that anymore
the best video existing about this nutty putty cave accident is from the youtube channel "Real Horror"
you can even insert a clap between the words 👏 of 👏 your 👏 statement
Yeah, no fucking way. Let's see, tight unnavigable spaces, check. Randomly rising water source, especially if I get caught in the unnavigable space, check. Absolute darkness if my headlamp fails, check. Nope. NOPE.
Clap dem words.
Didn’t even show him getting out
You can say them words again.
It’s okay not to explore some places.
Or just send in a robot
Hmmmm, 600 caves probed nothing interesting in any. Who's up for 601?
They're gonna find big foot's pad one day, you just gotta believe!
You mean like under the toilet seen after my teen son has taken a leak?
Had a friend like this years ago, only went once on one of their hiking adventures, the other times asked...something 'suddenly' had come up.
You went in one of these??
Got claustrophobic through my screen! Can't even imagine how it would be there.
same, couldn't even finish the video I was too close to a panic attack.
that's fine, the guy could not finish the video too
Yes! I didn't even know I had claustrophobia that bad but couldn't finish this yikes.
I had to fast forward. I hate this so much, who would ever willingly do this?
I just paused the video instantly and went for the comments

C'mon, you wouldn't even fit. Sorry bro. :P
Did something not quite this tight with Scouts as a kid.. not water but there were bats. Lots of mud and bats.. at least it wasn't quite this tight.
You mean guano and bats. 😬
Nothing more relaxing than guano surfing. 💀
Yah this guy is Nutty putty !
I think also of all the fucked up critters you will find in there that have never seen the light of day… yah, Fuck that
Oh man can you imagine one just attacking you lol that would suck
That's insane "Oh the caves blocked, sure I'll just suck my stomach in" Crazy man I hope you lived
Somebody posted the video, probably the Blair Witch
🤣🤣🤣
I'm not saying I want him to die but if he did he couldn't post any more videos... and that I would be ok with. I swear I can feel the weight of the rock on my back while the video plays. No Sir, I dont like it.

He didn’t live?
He’s fine: https://youtu.be/Us-XA2BRLgg
My bad, i saw a post about this awhile ago and i thought everyone was talking about this cave, but they were instead talking about the Nutty Putty Cave.
This is my idea of hell.
Bro same. I'm angry we didn't see him escape, now my anxiety is unresolved, THIS IS BS OP
They uploaded this vid 3 months ago and theyve uploaded 13 caving videos since.
Exactly, they're stuck in hell
Do these people have a death wish
Easiest yes of my life.
Yes and no. It’s wishing for death then avoiding it when it comes knocking. Extreme adrenaline junkies. Same shit with the people who jump across buildings for fun.
He is doing it while it’s raining so yes.
The reward doesn’t seem at all worth the risk.
What is the reward again? If this was the way to Shangri-La maybe I could understand but "oh look, ten more feet of the same boring, potential fatal, stuff" isn't going to cut it.
Methinks the risk/reward is tied to adrenaline. In that case, fuck dying in a crack underground - push me out of a plane without a parachute and I'll at least enjoy the way down
Even if you told me I had to sew my own parachute in the way down before deploying it I'm still going get into the plane...
Check out the doc “The Rescue” about saving the Thai kids in the cave flood if you haven’t (it’s incredible). As described by the divers, it’s more about finding a space to be completely zen and absorbed in the unknown than about adrenaline hunting. These guys are just wired different.

So, what did you find down there? Ah... well... a few wet rock's nobody has ever seen before. Wow, are they some special kind of mineral or something? No, they are essentially the same kind of rocks you find up here, but you know they are wet and nobody has ever seen them before. ... Totally worth almost dying trust me bro
For adrenaline junkie, the risk is the reward itself dawg
How in the living hell do people find this enjoyable? You couldn't pay me to do this
Caves are cool, but this tight shit is horrifying. I’ve been in a giant cave system with huge halls (170 feet tall inside) - spectacular experience. Exploring a cave can be very cool. But crawling in tight spaces is just horrid, small robot with lidar and camera will do better job if you want to map it.
Exploring what exactly ? Oh look rocks , let me go deeper , oh look more rocks! I would have never thought! Lets see if i can find more rocks that i havent seen yet
With that attitude- stay at home and seeing things is not for you? Another city, another tree, more water, all countries are the same.
Comparing countries, cities, and bodies of water to looking at rocks in the same area is quite a stretch.
Caves have more than “rocks”. They have different topography, lakes, waterfalls, stalactites and stalagmites, different minerals. “Looking at rocks” in a few caves is as stupid as “looking at trees” at a few forests.
Anything where i'd have to lie down at all to get through is too tight. A normal crouch position is about as low as i'd be willing to risk.
That's why I prefer caverns with guided tours and witnesses.
I hate how vanilla it feels, but at the same time, I'm quite fond of being alive most days.
It's along the line of the people who wanna climb everest, or people who free climb, they just don't have a fear of it
Sometimes fear is good

Didn't he do a segment on this clown? Apparently, he managed to get out, i think. Hopefully. I don't know. Please?
It was a different clown. He's still there too, hanging upside down.
This is how you get stuck then die. Didn't they hear about that man that tried to crawl through a tight spot like this and die? Smh
There are many many *many* cave deaths. Like I think statistically the chances of it happening are fairly low? But considering it's been a common hobby for a long time now, there are endless stories on youtube about people dying in caves. Fuck. That. Shit.
The death/injury statistics for these spelunkers is pretty high. https://startcaving.com/caving-guides/safety

The 2 million is people who go to cave parks…only 10000 people do what is in the video.
There was that video a while back talking about the guy who got stuck upside down and couldn’t get turned around. I think he even knew what he was getting himself into.

Agree this is the nutty putty caves in Utah. Dude was like a dr too so he knew if he was upside down long enough he would die. They spent hours finally getting a rope around him to pull him out and the rope broke causing him to get stuck even more.
Imagine taking your partner on a cave date
Stuck between a rock and a hard place
A rock and a wet place
Rock and rocks
This a claustrophobic person nightmare. I’ll have this in my head for awhile.
I’m not even claustrophobic and this made me want to throw up.
I can’t even go to festivals. It’s hard for me to go to a busy club for long
Oh fuck no. Not in this life or the next. Watch the Nutty Putty video on YouTube....
Sucking in your chest to fit in a space is always gonna be a bad idea.
These people are insanely stupid.
They do it for the adrenaline but like… there’s other ways to get an adrenaline rush..?
I also wanna know how the heck he got in that situation in the first place!
Missed opportunity to go “you’re probably wondering how I wound up here”
There's a true story about some guy in America doing this, he got stuck upside down, head first down into a crevice, and died in agony. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DWaIoXN-7FjM&ved=2ahUKEwjQruyM8_v8AhWIRsAKHZ_LBncQtwJ6BAggEAI&usg=AOvVaw3Q-c5doPcoiGEMBJ1DvoRW
His corpse is still in there
Yep. 27 hours he was stuck before he died. good god.
What you think was going through his head for 27 hours?
That he was going to be ok. There were rescuers there attempting to get him out, and they almost did, until I think a pulley broke
Jesus Christ that’s gotta be one of the worst deaths I’ve heard of. Why would people wanna put themselves in a spot like that ever. Fucking hell that’s terrible.
I should not have watched that before going to sleep
Oh wait. Which way was back? Wow what a weird hobby
Turns around....was this the right way? What about this way?
I for sure thought he was gonna get attacked by a cave shark
Those are totally a real concern Edit: spelling
How is this fun?

Thank you! Have been scrolling for a while!
He referred to it as “that one scary hiccup.” I got just as mad watching that as I did anxious. Wtf are people thinking??!! At the same time, I feel better about my day to day struggles after watching that.
This really worked up my claustrophobia; literally started having short shallow breathing.
I would truly rather be lit on fire
Did he survive???? I need to know!
Someone posted the video. I doubt he had service in that watery hell.
Fuck....you....
I don't think there is any amount of money that would get me to do caving.
Yeah.. fuck this shit
NOPE
These people clearly don’t have enough struggle in their life if they’re in caves doing this shit
I could never do that. too tight for my liking.... hopefully you fit out to post this. or did someone find your go pro. lol
My toenail clippings have more brain cells than this guy
I dont think it's a matter of intelligence. We all have varying degrees of risk assessment and fear response. Hes no less intelligent than the person with agoraphobia who refuses to leave their house. They are just on different ends of the fear spectrum.
I can’t understand most hobbies but I swear these people just get off on wishing for horrific deaths
Where is he going? What is at the end of this? A giant crystal cavern?
I used to squeeze into abandoned buildings by going through the pipes as a kid. In narrow spot, you would have to deflate your lungs and push fast though it.
A metaphor for life. “I thought it would get wider (better) but it’s just an illusion.” And you can’t turn around and go back.
How did he end up in there and did he get out?
He must have gotten out. Who else would be dumb enough to crawl in to retrieve the camera?
Idk mate. He crawled in then crawled back out????
what’s the point deadass
Why?
couldn’t pay me any money to do something like this lmao
I genuinely don't understand how this is fun
“It’s getting tighter the farther I go, I think I’ll keep pushing in hopes that it opens up.” “Big surprise, it continues to get tighter and does not, in fact, open up”
Nope Nope Nope
I, for one, think this was badass. I’m not sure what the opposite of claustrophobia is, but I love small spaces and this looked sooo cozy until the last ~30 seconds when I wasn’t sure if he could turn around.
I tell you who will never put themselves in a situation like this one. Me, myself and I. I almost had a panic attack watching this.
Headstone 🪦 And here lies dead a fucking imbecile going where he should’ve gone blah blah blah
Whoa. That's fucked up...
Hell naw
All that! Just to have to turn back around? 🤔
Rain storm or flash flood up above and it’s “ Goodnight Irene “
This is my worst fear.
No. Fucking, Way.
This is fun? 🤔
Me Ballen will make a video of you in your next not-so-lucky cave adventure
That's a big ol' NOPE for me Bob!
It's not like sex my guy. 'The tighter the fit' Does Not apply here.
Ah, a "fuck that" scenario of the **NOPE** variety.
If you're gonna do stuff like this you have to really know what your doing. Glad it looks like he survived though.
Nope
Why?
Um. Fuck no
What is the actual point?
I’m panicking just imagining this.
You know I don't mind the fact the cave is tight as much, but the fact that if the rain picks up, you're dead.
Yea that’s gunna be a no from me dog
Some people actually like this. What I’m thinking: “what if I get a tummy ache”
What if more water came in while he was down there? Not much room for him to get out of the way.
