I liked the animation. Yes, my helmet has a bunch of scrapes and dings on it. Mostly from low mines. Guess im a bit taller than the old miners a hunnert yeers ago! I am surprised Frank from "Exploring Abandoned Mines" is still alive. He's got himself into situations that somehow never made it onto his videos. Hmm.

Don't ever go into an old coal mine. Toxic gases are more likely to be present in there. If you do go into an old mine, stay away from all shafts, and never go in alone! Also let others know where you have gone and leave some form of ID. at the entrance, in case someone has to come looking for you!

There’s dangers, but the number of people actually hurt/ killed in abandoned mines is extremely low. Nevada hasn’t had one in the last 7 years. The government money and panic over it is way out of proportion with reality. The vast majority of the fatalities they cite actually died of drowning in quarry pits and strip mines. Very rarely in underground mines.

They show wooden ladders, you can't buy wooden ladders anymore. Even new wood ladders designed by engineers aren't really safe when new.

These mines weren't safe when new! Modern miners carry air quality warning devices with them.

Stay in your house stay alive.

We had a lot of winzes around our area (coal) and they were old and very crumbly. Also, there was the danger of Methane gas. Black Diamond, WA.

Are abandoned mines dangerous? Of course. A lot of things done by people are dangerous, I am a motorcyclist and a cold weather camper, a shooter (yeah, guns) Should everyone do what I do? They can if they want to but many people die every year. I have explored mines before--I find it interesting and fun.

Nobody tells rock climbers to stay away from cliffs, I'd feel vastly safer in a mine than hundreds of feet up a cliff.

interesting unsafe mine the government id for that but not for guns that are too dangerous to the public too

Sorry music drowned out video

Not TRUE

Make them safe, and use safety signs!!!

Put up Danger signs!!! Any idiot who ignores them, will bring disaster on themselves. However, one can explore a mine with proper training and equipment. See videos on abandoned mines. Why explore abandoned mines when there are safe activities and wonderful places to explore!!!

Even operating mines are dangerous, I know as I lost several friends my my underground mining 43 year career in the mines of Timmins ON Canada.

Please, do stay out of mines and away from shafts. It is true in this video about a curious person wondering into mines, they use string, spray paint arrows and stack rocks, because they scared and not familiar with mines. and yes they walk right off into shafts and die, case in point, happened in Barstow some 15 years ago, 1 week apart, one man died, the other no longer can walk, same mine shaft one week apart. As to the dynamite, i seen plenty, never heard of anyone getting killed because they touched it. Exploring mines is fun and yes, dangerous, leave the exploring to us crazies, we are prepared, have the experience. We do risk losing our lives doing this, but so does driving on the freeway at 90 miles an hour. I did like his comment about the rock at 10 feet, the reason i only wear a bump cap, anything more than ten feet, even a good helmet isnt going to help. So watch for lose rocks going down.

I like mine videos. And good music, but not together. Didnt watch.

True. As was venturing west out of the original 13 east coast colonies. .

This is incredible! I've been hoping to stumble on a video with terminology in it and here we are! Thanks!

Have you ever seen what "puff" does when it catches fire????

Stupid is as stupid does.If you don't know what youare doing stay out. Teach this in school.

Maybe this woman should have taught her son better.

boo hoo hoo jesus people.....dont air your drama

Did I miss it, did they say anything about air quality?

@3:07 How did the cameraman get the shot looking up the open stope? Hmmmmm I guess he went down into the danger zone!

Good educational video.

"Stopes" sounds like "stonks". That' the only thing could think about throughout this whole thing.

2:56 it is referred to as an O P E N S T O P E

So...why don't legislature dictate that those mines be filled in and all future mines be filled in upon vane depletion? Just makes sense, no? Am I missing something here?

Working ones arn't that safe either.

Did people listen? Nope.

They always want to close it for everybody else, ......after THEY go in and see it. 🙄 GTFOOH

Just put up signs! Some of us know what we are doing. It shouldn’t be closed up for good. It’s history! Let the process of natural selection continue. Fence them off for animals, post the signs and go get you a cup of coffee.

Was there anyone who watched this for inspiration in Minecraft

fucking Nanny State Liberals. Fuck it lets shut down the national parks. Too many people are unprepared for the wilderness and get lost and die.

Interesting, who knew how dangerous mines could be.

1000 Ways to die... mine edition

Driving a car is dangerous!

So you go around looking to get adits sealed? 🤬

That guy must have been lucky to survive all those incidents. And equally foolish for going back into a mine again! Some never learn...

Something in the DNA of a human being just draws them to the underground unknown, like a moth to a flame.

We hiked a mine near Pinehurst ID back in the mid 90's that went into an open stope that was so colossal, it made you wonder what was holding the mountain up... endless bat shit on the ground... You could see several adjacent shafts that were full of boulders from collapses... and as I started to size things up, the huge mounds of rock I saw around were from the ceiling of the stope... that is when it was time to go...

We cant let these people close off the mines. They are historical land marks. Like yeah do something with the vertical surface shafts but leave the portal based mines along. Let people enter at their own risk.

Look at these professional kill joys at the beginning, looks like every teacher I hated. Still not dumb enough to go into mines without knowing everything about mining first.

They should be blown-sealed..... That should be part of owning a claim (responsibility) or the US Government who leases the property and charges for the rights ...Proper shutdown of the entity ...... should be a requirement.

I don’t trust abandoned mines period stay out of em.

The orange water is still running strong in Pa :)

Bat gates,just leave a little more room so i can get in :)

As with most environments on this good ol' Earth, there will be inherent dangers i.e. motorcycling, flying, surfing, mining. As we have seen from the competent mine explorers of RUclips, generally if you know what you are doing and you are equipped to do so, you can explore seemingly the most hazardous mines there are with little danger of injury or death. But be warned the element of bad luck is your constant companion, the odds are good nothing bad will occur. The government agencies that concern themselves with the safety of it's citizens are obligated to put out this info as a general warning to safeguard the people. My advise to those that are curious, but ill equipped STAY OUT AND STAY ALIVE.

Yes old mines are archaic and dangerous. Alot of hand dug mines were abandoned for good by the 60s or 70s. Those old latter's are ticking time bombs also old downshafts (winses) can get covered by rotten tin or boards. If you fall in an old sump you'll drown hours before help arrives!!!
