  Brave people push boundaries, stupid people purposely shove their entire bodies into a hole and die

    Seriously. He could’ve shone a flashlight down there and seen it was a death trap before going down

      I think a boroscope is an important tool he didn’t use

      I think he was already fucked. His only option was to keep going in hopes there would be an opening he could use to turn around

  Well, yes, but you can be brave and take precautions at the same time. He wouldn’t have died if he’d followed proper caving guidelines.

    The question posed is “Why do it”

      “Because it’s there,” I assume. But if you’re gonna have a potentially dangerous hobby, you should at least be sure to take the necessary precautions before risking your life.

        Like having a good life insurance policy that pays out even if you die doing something stupid? And maybe having a fake tooth filled with cyanide so you can go out quickly instead of dying of exposure?

  This isnt brave or pushing boundaries.

  This is just an imbecile commiting suicide with extra steps.

    And yet, here you are reading about it, reading others’ thoughts about it, and engaged in a conversation about it.

      Cause the internet loves idiots who get what they deserve for being stupid

      has nothing to do with bravery or boundaries.
