My brain is fried. I thought this was the Saddam Hussein meme.
Nope. One of the most horrifying stories ever meme.
Im not Saddam Hussein so I wouldnt be in that situation
Spelunkers are crazy, out of every stupid thing you could do that has a high chance of killing you of you if you make a tiny mistake you choose spelunking?
But this hole was made for me!
😭
Drr drr dr
Exploring beginner friendly caves is really cool. But tight passages like this and the nutty putty cave one are absolutely terrifying, and I want nothing to do with it.
This IS the nutty putty cave, the pic is just rotated 90 degrees.
The picture makes my skin crawl because I read about the guy.
It gets worse knowing which way is down in that picture XD
Oh god so much worse. Just a nightmarish, horrid way to go. It seriously freaks me out imagining it.
Yeah, choose SCUBA spelunking like a real daredevil!
Wingsuit base SCUBA spelunking
scuba is waaay less dangerous. if your shit fails you can surface (depending on depth of course) the bends aint fun
I think they meant cave diving. Spelunking, but underwater. Incredibly dangerous.
But scuba spelunking gives you the worst of both. Easy to get lost, easy to get stuck especially because you have a big tank on your back, if you let silt kick up its easy to get turned around and lost in the cave, and of course you also have a limited air supply.
At least you die faster. If I was in the position of the guy in the picture underwater I would just spit out my regulator.
Also if you have the tanks on your side and you never take them off to go through a hole you can be pretty sure that you can go through anything back if your remove them. Siphons tho, that’s a different story
No one calls it spelunking who actually does it, at least in USA
Good thing we aren’t in the USA then.
Do they call it spelunking where you are? I’m curious if any caving communities actually call it that
I thought the USA was where it was called Spelunking. In the UK it’s called Potholing because of the small entrances to vertical caves, or caving.
I don’t know anywhere it’s called by spelunking by the people who actually do it.
what do they call it, “Get stuck in impossibly tiny hole upside down and die”?
It’s not lame enough, let’s also not call it by the cool name
The bougie name
What would Saddam Hussein do?
He’d say “It was made for me! This is my hole!”, and climb in.
At the risk of whooshing, what does this have to do with being black or not?
Black people typically don’t do stupid shit like climbing into tiny caves.
Didn’t a bunch of miners just die in South Africa in a likely similar situation?
I think doing stupid shit is a universal experience.
Sorry, I should have clarified that I was referencing the stereotypical black American mindset as I’ve experienced it.
Fair enough.
I sleep like a baby knowing the risk of this happening to me is 0%
Not a great way to go.
There are wine caves and cheese caves. I could spend several lifetimes exploring those.
Otherwise, no thank you.
God yeah caving is such a bad idea unless it’s already confirmed safe to be in. In addition to the well-publicized risk of getting stuck in a pocket with the blood pooling to your head, you’ve got collapses and cave-ins, wild animals, noxious gasses, lack of air circulation, there are so many reasons not to go into a cave you don’t already know is safe.
Average gambler IQ be like, “just one more cm bro”
Never go into the cave
I don’t even go to places where a cave is a option!
Just pull yourself to your side and climb down
Hoping I die from something else
What’s thus got to with gambling?
