    I never, ever, ever want to be in a situation like this. I remember when I was about six I went to an outside adventure park and it had an obstacle where you needed to crawl through a pipe, about 10m long. Even that gave me the heebie-jeebies. As an adult I have had to have several MRI scans and those make me panic too, but that's more because I'm physically unable to get out even if I want to and my movement is severely restricted (head locked into position, knee-deep into the machine, unable to get out by myself). I need space and the ability to control my movement! But I loved this video and you guys had an amazing time - keep it up!

    • @CalvinHikes

And he dropped into the most uncofortable posision. Rescues coudln't get him out without braking him his legs i mean they could but they needed time to set everything up. They moved him a few inches back but it was too late becouse John Jones was almost uncounsious and was sleepy and he was close to death, so he just slipped back even more. I Just want to say Here that he was unlucky he was at the wrong place at the wrong time. He Is i think the first Person recorded in history that died in a cave by being stuck. These guys where probbably also scared at the first time but then it was a hobby to them and caving Is actually pretty fun for me.

      Jones is the JAWS of the caving world. Many are afraid of things which don't exist. People are super angry at us sometimes. On the other hand: the unwarranted fear is likely also the reason our videos become somewhat popular. So we take the bad with the good. And remain alive.

      Its very likely. Very, very likely. People get stuck in caves all of the time. Johns story was bad mainly because the rescue team failed to save him. But continue on with the "this won't ever happen to me" logic. I bet John thought that too.
      Just seems like common sense not to put yourself in that situation to begin with. What's even in these caves? More rocks, more darkness. No hidden trove of treasure, no secrets. Just tight spaces and dark dead ends. What's the damn point?
      Compare it to driving, yes, both have a risk involved, but at least when you drive you are risking it for something, rather than nothing at all.

      We use small cameras. But mostly, we either fit or we don't fit. It's not generally the size of the passage, it's the type of flooring. Rough flooring will catch your clothes and is almost impossible to get through. But smooth floor is easy. That's why these lava caves are harder than limestone in other places of the world. Other cavers LOOK like they're suffering from claustrophobia... but let's put them in a lava cave and see how they fare.

      Air in caves isn't stagnant... the cave is like a big lung, which constantly breathes in and out. Because there is a temperature difference from the outside, this causes air to be sucked in and out of the cave, even with just one entrance hole.
      That being said, the air, while breathable, sometimes is damp and tastes bad. We wear masks in some caves. But in general, the air is fine to breathe for a few hours.
