      It's simple really. To be able to truly explore most caves you need to be relatively small. Don't be afraid of the dark or claustrophobia. But mainly, not everyone can make the trip to many of these places, so they enjoy seeing other people make the trips. Elevators are also a bit different, since you are so far underground. Because of this some people are more scared of caves than elevators.

    It's only the tight spaces that make me panic, I'd be worried of getting stuck then dying a grueling death. Someone died in nutty putty cave that way and they could never retrieve his body so they just sealed up the place. Scary

    • @nickarry
      @nickarry 6 лет назад +50

      saw the same story.... imagine dying after being upside down for 27 hours with your arm pinned under your body, looking at a dead end, with no way to push yourself back up, all while having your chest under pressure from the squeeze your in. there aren't many worse ways to die than that.

    • @InlineDownhillVancouver
      @InlineDownhillVancouver 6 лет назад +15

      The difference between these two situations is that the caving shown in this video is with experienced cavers who know the route and the one at Nutty Putty, they just guessed and went for it. The latter strategy not ending well.

    @sprayup 8 лет назад +133

    I really like the idea of spelunking, and I can do "versions" of it. I'm not really claustrophobic, but tight squeezes half filled with water, or squeezes that require crawling are out of the question for me. I don't ever want to get stuck in a position that isn't upright, or in a position that can fill with water.

But damn these caves are.. it's like they want to eat me or something. Another anxiety to conquer!

    I watched this video years ago in preparation for my Cwm Dwr birthday cake and caving trip. I’ve put on some weight since but I always use Mark as my “can I fit?” Theory.
    Fast forward to last week, my husband was on the rescue and came home telling me I couldn’t do that trip now and it is a lot tighter than he remembers. Half tempted to plan januarys birthday cake and caving trip back there to prove a point 😂

    • @CaverKeith
      @CaverKeith  2 года назад

      I also was there last weekend. Your husband's definition of tighter must be the same definition as clothes shrinking when on a cruise ship. 😀 If there's birthday cake on offer then Mark and I could be persuaded to join your celebratory trip. 🧁
