Spelunkers are crazy, out of every stupid thing you could do that has a high chance of killing you of you if you make a tiny mistake you choose spelunking?
Exploring beginner friendly caves is really cool. But tight passages like this and the nutty putty cave one are absolutely terrifying, and I want nothing to do with it.
This IS the nutty putty cave, the pic is just rotated 90 degrees.
The picture makes my skin crawl because I read about the guy.
scuba is waaay less dangerous. if your shit fails you can surface (depending on depth of course) the bends aint fun
I think they meant cave diving. Spelunking, but underwater. Incredibly dangerous.
But scuba spelunking gives you the worst of both. Easy to get lost, easy to get stuck especially because you have a big tank on your back, if you let silt kick up its easy to get turned around and lost in the cave, and of course you also have a limited air supply.
what do they call it, “Get stuck in impossibly tiny hole upside down and die”?
Do they call it spelunking where you are? I’m curious if any caving communities actually call it that
What would Saddam Hussein do?
The dialogue actually goes the other way, because manga panels (and speech bubbles and texts inside) are read right to left.
Not a great way to go.
My brain is fried. I thought this was the Saddam Hussein meme.
God yeah caving is such a bad idea unless it’s already confirmed safe to be in. In addition to the well-publicized risk of getting stuck in a pocket with the blood pooling to your head, you’ve got collapses and cave-ins, wild animals, noxious gasses, lack of air circulation, there are so many reasons not to go into a cave you don’t already know is safe.
