I watched an episode about a tragic death in an underground cave by a spelunker, and now YT keeps sending me tons of cave diving tragedies and cave exploring tragedies.
Kids, never go spelunking or cave diving.
Some adventure takes a special kind of stupid. For that, people should be strictly on their own. It is not their right to pursue their heart’s desire and expect others to put their lives at risk as well.
“It’s easy. It’ll be fun. Lots of people do it.”
Yes, cave diving is very dangerous, because it is very easy to get lost in them.
I went spelunking once. That was enough for me.
go to your history and delete the cave video you watched- might help stop the suggestions
Years ago Art Bell had on his show a professional, I think they call themselves ‘cavers’ who said spelunk I’d the sound made when spelunkers fall to the bottom of the cave.
When I was about twelve years old I lived in Huntsville, Alabama, "The Rocket City!" I and my younger brother went on a Boy Scout camping trip with Troop 378 or 379 (I can't remember which), spelunking down into one of the vast limestone caves that cover Northern Alabama. After a long hike down and going deeper down with ropes a couple of times, we stopped by a fast moving river with the water as clear as glass. We unrolled our sleeping bags and slept the whole night a few feet from the water in pitch darkness.
"Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground"
Note: Regarding the the Scout Troop, it had grown so big that they had to cut it in half and a successive number was assigned. I cannot remember if the cave spelunking trip was before or after the split.
I highly recommend supervised kids try spelunking. Even if it's only to experiance a total Pitch Black night.
Truth.
