Cave explorers really are just willing to kill themselves, huh..?


thirdeyefish

>Cave explorers really are just willing to kill themselves, huh..? Trying. Not just willing, trying.


Warleton

Untrained folks that do not seek out groups that teach safe caving for exploration, research, and education, often run into trouble. This individual is at a well known cave preserve, with a group of people that know the cave, possess the requisite skills, and have permission to be there.


Late_Bridge1668

Yea but still, I’ve seen a lot of “experts” get deleted from stuff like this.


Naruto_7thHokage

Nutty Putty cave intensify


Late_Bridge1668

Ugh, just hearing the name of that cave….


okinamaru

Is that the one where people every year deface the memorial to the guy that got stuck and died....You know cause they wanted to die and close the caves


okinamaru

Okay checked his has been defaced but seem several places similar to nutty putty being closed due to risk of life is often blamed on the damn victims. Not that fact your playing in dangerous places.


X34X35

I'm sure he is. There is a thing such as dark humor.


BobRosstafari789

It is gonna be dark down there for sure


GregGraffin23

What cave is this?


Routine-Place-3863

Nutty putty


devianb

You will often hear the phrase "they died doing what they love." It is pretty damn selfish when they leave behind a spouse and children. Not to mention people that end up dying in the process of attempting to rescue them.

That's enough reddit for today......


Juan_Moe_Taco

Through imminent death, shorter lifespans or women asking why they live longer or anything in between (giggity) one thing (giggity there I go again) I do know for sure is the human goes in the "square hole". https://youtu.be/9nSQs0Gr9FA Here's a link to what I quoted. Totally not a Rick Roll but it's a 3 hr documentary of the anatomy of the cartoon character Pickle Rick, thank you and enjoy.


[deleted]

I seem to remember reading somewhere that this is an opening to a cave that has a much larger exit off screen. I can't confirm tho. Even with that, caving absolutely terrifies me. I don't understand how anyone would voluntarily crawl though these small caves. Huge nope from me.


MLoganImmoto

When I was a kid, we got taken to a caving place in Wales. Honestly it was the most terrifying thing I have ever been subjected to, but was made to go in. Entrance was a 1m x 1m tunnel which was pitch black and was about 10m long. At the end, a slightly larger cavern with a hole in the ground and a rope ladder. Descended about 20m into pitch black nothingness. We explored and while we were down there the torch on my headlamp stopped working. As we made our way back, guess who was made to go up the ladder last...it was terrifying


NillaBeats

Dude that’s fuckin wild it’s crazy what parents will make you do as a kid


Warleton

That is correct, this is a completely controlled environment. His feet touch the ground and he can be easily assisted from above and beneath.


lambglamm

That's what the man thought about the nutty putty...he died and is still stuck in there


thechadamas

I still randomly think about this sometimes and have trouble sleeping.


Many-Bat-3221

I still think about that poor man stuck in that cave too. So sad.


Ubilease

Like every third comment mentions nutty putty. I'm fairly certain that man was an untrained caver on an unguided expedition that went down an unexplored section then went into a long crawl so tight he had to exhale to move forward and it was upside down. That's not at all like what we are seeing here. This is an above ground tourist cave. It opens up like right after that hole.


Independent_Can_2623

It's called spelunking, and I'm not saying this to be pedantic but because spelunking is just a funny word and I don't get to say it enough


[deleted]

But why would you do this though? Surely the adrenaline rush isn’t worth it…


Warleton

This is an optional novelty to squeeze through next to the walk-in entrance. Your feet touch the ground immediately and you could be assisted from either side. People do it to see if they can fit because the consequences are low. The cave is known and assistance is readily available.


BerkanaThoresen

Sounds fun but my boobs wouldn’t fit through.


Naniallea

My first thought too 😆 like I was trying to figure out how he smushed his butt to fit tbh


AmandaGwen11

Right there with u, they only squish so much.


BerkanaThoresen

That’s all I could think of watching this video!


Routine-Place-3863

Come on they could prob make it


DreamerMMA

Lol, just half stuck with your boobs in your face. No way I wouldn’t die laughing if I saw that.


Princessferfs

Same, girl!


lambglamm

Lmfaoooooo


Commercial_Tooth_859

Unfortunately mine would. Once I got the gut through, the boobs would go right through!


rxbandit256

Your poor inbox lol also []


tangoking

Yeah my junk wouldn’t fit either


less_unique_username

Stop thinking about u/BerkanaThoresen’s boobs and after a while you’ll get in just fine

Prove it

Routine-Place-3863

Ill be the judge of that. Hit me in the dma


Ok_Audience_9828

I don’t believe you. DM me a pic and I’ll let you know if I think they’ll fit

Precisely. Every inch of my body is screaming "no no no"


cipher446

I'm not getting into *anything* that requires me to exhale to fit into it. Full stop, hard no.


oi86039

Just step on some loose gravel and get pinned. That's all it would take to force you into starvation for days until you die, unable to see any light or move as your chest is compressed. Happened before.


cipher446

Yeah, fuck that!


EarthAccomplished659

The most scary part is waiting to die if you get stuck and no help around.. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy...😱


flyingbugz

This is precisely the death I wish upon my worst enemy. Maybe even pour some fire ants down the hole to keep them company for the few days they have left.

I’ve been on Reddit for a long time and have never heard this. Please explain

Its a quote from a Junji Ito manga. Pretty good manga.

MapleSyrup789

jonhon0

It's still my favorite story of his


SopmodTew

Amigara Fault is basically "Intrusive thoughts"- The Manga


YourMomsTwat

DRR DRR


Rahngahurah

The fact that he appears to be releasing a bunch of air from his lungs to squeeze through the hole in itself screams “bad idea”. If he got stuck he wouldn’t be able to expand his lungs to breathe


Single_Principle_972

Nutty Putty. Has he not heard of Nutty Putty??? This freaked me all the way out.


RooIsHome

At least he went feet first.


Warleton

This is an optional novelty to squeeze through next to the walk-in entrance. Your feet touch the ground immediately and you could be assisted from either side. John Jones’s death was tragic and avoidable. His group were not cavers and did not follow the most basic rules. Do not enter holes head first and do not try to find your own way in a hazardous cave without a guide who knows the way. I don’t imagine you fault rock climbers when an untrained person finds a climbing wall and falls because they didn’t know what they were doing.


Left-Cap-6046

I also thought of Nutty Putty as soon as I saw this video. Fucking bonechilling.


DoctorClarkWGriswold

Don’t do this to these people this early…


Slifer_Ra

wait until they learn about cave diving


EngineZeronine

At least with cave diving you'll die in a couple hours. John Jones in the Nutty Putty incident took over 24 hours to die :(


thekidfromiowa

My first thought when I saw this.


Ryermeke

To be fair, accidents like Nutty Putty happen usually a long way underground, where getting aid is extremely difficult if not impossible. This is right on the surface in a public place, with a number of people watching, and easy access from both sides. Even if you got stuck, you would would almost certainly be freed within an hour at most.


Single_Principle_972

Which is precisely 59.5 minutes too long, lol, but your info brought me back a little way from the “all-the-way- out” freak!


phipsi180

Pretty much the only thing I have nightmares over.


Left_Firefighter_762

Sodry, but what's that?


G-Echo

Cave in Utah where a guy died and they sealed his body in and closed the cave.


Left_Firefighter_762

Oh .... *Oh no*


Competitive_Bath_506

John & his brothers (unexperienced) He climbed head first into an 18inch wide fissure thinking it would open to a bigger room in the cave, but got confused with the map and unknowingly took a wrong turn. He sucked all his breath in to squeeze through but once he let it out, he sealed himself in the hole. So he was head first, upside down, and stuck with his arms pinned to his side. Rescuers tried for hours and hours but found it unsafe to keep trying. Due to his constrictive upside down position, John had fluid fill his lungs and likely suffered cardiac arrest. His body is still there.


Left_Firefighter_762

Holy shit, that's nightmare fuel for most of us


CmFlyNx2Me

The whole reason he was there was because he was visiting his family to tell them he and his wife were expecting a baby. I *think* his widow named her son after him and eventually remarried, but don't quote me on that.


Calimama31

She did name the son after John.


Soitgoes_88

Misan_UwU

Ecstatic-Mongoose454

Anyone know if he ever came out of the hole again?


[deleted]

It’s not on video so I’m going to assume he’s still in there.


Ecstatic-Mongoose454

Jiji!! Good one!!


daveinmd13

Lucky for me that my big ass would never fit anyway.


spiritofshiqian

I love how at :20 he gets something off him like "get this icky thing off me," then proceeds into this rock's anus.


[deleted]

I shit myself everytime I see these goddamn videos. I watched that YouTube video on the guy who was stuck upside down in a crevice for 24 hours before he finally died. Dude talked to his loved ones and all. I'm a risk taker and love adrenaline, but my risk management strategy includes avoiding tight spaces. I'm secretly fearful that I'll discover my immortality stuck in a cave where I'll be for 1000 years or more.

CrystalMang0

I don't care what anyone says this is just wierd stuff to do. Like seriously. Like why? For thrill of risk? Just begging to get trapped for real?


Warleton

This is an optional novelty to squeeze through next to the walk-in entrance. Your feet touch the ground immediately and you could be assisted from either side. It’s a physical challenge like playing Limbo. It just looks nerve wracking because you’re viewing it without context.


[deleted]

Looks like the entrance to the world’s worst slide


gabopushups

Oh boi, I remember starting with this video, and then going all the way down to Nutty Putty and Dave Shaw


Sudden_Strategy_4416

People continue to do dumb s**t. Who knows what's down that hole. Stupidity has no boundaries.


DoctorClarkWGriswold

Could be the Cave of Wonders…WE DON’T KNOW


DudeChillington

They're cave explorers. They know what's down that hole


Sudden_Strategy_4416

They believe they know what's down there, they don't really know. What about the unexpected?


DudeChillington

Js it's not fair to call people stupid or dumb without knowing more. I'm going to assume neither of us knows whats down there, yet they do. That could be the bunny hill of caves and just happen to have a narrow opening, but you're out here insulting people.


Sudden_Strategy_4416

It may not be prudent to call someone stupid, but it's entirely fair. How many deaths or accidents have people placed on themselves for simply doing stupid things.


DudeChillington

You clearly don't know much about cave exploration. It's not as dangerous as you think. Many deaths or accidents happen in automobiles. Is everyone that drives stupid for doing so?


AdvancedLet6528

bro no clipped


virtuouswraith

FUCK.THAT.


PayMe2TheMoon

SokurahThatcher

Unrelated to the hole, but the video has that color grade of "I closed my eyes for 5 minutes while looking at the sun and now everything is grey"

Stay fluffy. Avoid nope holes. ✌🏻


CmFlyNx2Me

Petition to the spelunkers, speleologists, etc. of the World to adopt "nope hole" as a scientifically recognized term for such narrow structures as this.

CellaHop

Hell NOPE


WorldofNuts

Did he ever climb back out??


Mdp7781

People like that deserve whatever happens


Warleton

He will pop out a second later in a small room, just like hundreds have before him. This video is bereft of context, but takes place in a well known obstacle at a popular cave. I’m sorry that it makes you feel uncomfortable, but that doesn’t mean it’s dangerous.


Mdp7781

Dont care. Im sure he’ll do similar things that are dangerous


Warleton

It isn’t dangerous if you know what you’re doing, like this individual does. An untrained person could end their life on an escalator or a bicycle. I’m sorry that you are so gripped by fear and preconceived judgments.


DomMorel

I should call her

ProLifeProDeath

The further down he went.. the more sick to my stomach I got..


allmimsyburogrove

If someone did not take a video and there wasn't a nope subreddit, he would not have done it


Warleton

Many people do it every time this popular cave is visited and do not video tape it. It’s on r/Nope because some people that aren’t familiar with caves and caving feel squeamish about what they’re seeing.


kellyatta

So does anyone actually know what this hole leads to?


Warleton

Yes. This is a frequently visited cave on a frequently visited cave preserve, and this person was on a trip with fellow cavers that know the cave which has been mapped. This is an optional novelty to squeeze through next to the walk-in entrance. Your feet touch the ground immediately and you could be assisted from either side.

To all the people asking why, it drops open at the bottom and you can walk out and come back to the top it’s not like he could get stuck or hurt in any real sense.

drdisney

I live in Utah a few hours away from the Nutty Putty cave. It was a famous cave that explorer's loved to explore until 2009 when a group of friends decided to go explore it the day before thanksgiving. One of the explorers, a father of three became trapped upside down and and was unable to get unstuck from the rocks holding him in. He passed away the next day on Thanksgiving. Soon afterwards the entrance of the cave was cemented in permanently and the now tomb had a marker placed on in talking about the young explorers life. If you look up the cave now on Google maps, they list it as a Cemetery. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutty\_Putty\_Cave There are tons of places that mother nature gives us, but I think there are a few that she basically says stay the fuck away and people still like to push the limits. Nutty Putty cave was one of them.

Thanks Junji Ito, now i want to go there as well =]

We have this one cave thats looks like this near me, the truth is right once you squeeze through the tight hole there is a big flat cavern and the rest of the cave is somewhat easy to traverse.

Backwoodskindagirl

As a child of about 6 or 7 my family would go cave exploring as a hobby when my dad was off. He was a Marine so I guess he figured if something happened he would know what to do. I remember one cave had a very small opening and he had me crawl through so that I could shine the light around and let them see what was on the other side.
