Comment on Why do it

You can explore a cave and not be a dumbass.
I like caves (been to like only 2 or 3 though, lol), but if I become stupid enough and trap myself in one, I hope no one would risk a life to rescue me. That’s what’s actually the worst thing about situations like this.

Yeah, the articles about this explain how there was a multi day rescue effort, several people were so traumatized they never wanted to cave again, one rescuer got smashed in the face with a pulley that came out of the ceiling, and the cave ended up being sealed with concrete. It was known as an easy cave though and the rescuers weren’t otherwise in danger.
