This shit is my worst nightmare

...

Is this one of those threads were people post stupid people doing stupid shit and dying/injuring themselves?

I love how's it's not mentioned anywhere that he was never rescued and they left him to die upside down in the tunnel.

I seriously hope a lot of people are dying doing this. Stupid decisions should be punished.

...

>it's my first time, I swear

...

>white people

Careful with that edge.

Terrifying

This so much. It's always white people doing these """sports""" that look more like low key suicide attempts.

>lol I'll just go head first into this tight hole deep underground shud b fine

>Go to caves they said
>It Will be fun they said

This hole is actually just a bravery/capability test for cavers. There's a much larger opening to the cave system just a couple of feet out of the shot.

AGRAARAarARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA

probably shoulda broke his legs then

How do we make caving more fun? Add water. LMAO

youtube.com/watch?v=hS_aMAlAaeU

Surely they could have come up with a way to administer a drug for him so they could break his legs without going into shock.

You guys know what's better than cave exploring?

Cave diving exploration!!
Just imagine being 100's of meters bellow water and one guy from the front group that went early is dead blocking the pass!!!
Don't forget you need a lot of hours of decompression for every extra 10min spent at those depths!!

dynamic.hs.fi/2014/deep/

what the hell is wrong with these people

what a fucking idiot

Couldn't they turn around? Or was the tunnel too tight? Imagine seeing a tiny little passage like this as a place you want to crawl through: youtube.com/watch?v=BO74RXs8V8U

This is by far the most retarded sport in the world
Why whould you want to enter a tiny hole?
I bet it's some weird fetichism of wanting to get fucked by planet earth of something I really don't get it

One of them did turn back iirc.

What you can see in the pic is that the first guy died in the deepest part. One of his friends tried to help him but for every 10 min at 100m you need an extra hour of decompression. So he had to choose from dying from drowning or dying from decompression.

I can't even begin to think what it must felt like.

>put the play on the video
>look another thread
>forget about it
>"yee geing ai bit moist thear"
>instinctively look if I have a british fake taxi porn tab open

Oh, that's right:

>All had been going well until not so long ago, but then the dive started to go wrong.

>Kai Känkänen had tried to help his fellow diver, but he had little time in the freezing water at a depth of over one hundred metres. Känkänen did as he had been trained to do: he had to save himself. He tried to stay calm and swam on.

>Then he saw the body of another fellow diver.

Would you rather do extreme caving or free climbing with those mad Russians that hang off cranes?

it's called spelunking you blithering idiot
and you're a low test cuck if you're afraid of it

free climbing
the death is quicker and it's like a roller coaster

wingsuiting is more fun than either, those guys aren't "mad" they're just poor

tfw too alpha to not kill myself in some retarded sport

In Britain its called caving, faggot.

Is OP the same motherfucker that posted the free climbing and skyscraper shit yesterday?

Fuck you, you nigger.

Are you allowed to go cave exploring by yourself?

Is climbing a sport tho???

no, thats me, my LGBQT friend :^)

Apparently climbing Everest is a total meme at this point. People queue to have their pictures taken on the summet. K2 is the patrician mountain.

>With around 300 successful summits and 77 fatalities, about one person dies on the mountain for every four who summit. It is more difficult and hazardous to reach the peak of K2 from the Chinese side, so it is usually climbed from the Pakistani side. Unlike Annapurna, the mountain with the highest fatality-to-summit rate (191 summits and 61 fatalities), or the other eight thousanders, K2 has never been climbed during winter.

fun fact, theres a region in Everest called "The Rainbow Valley" because of all the colorful jackets of the bodies laying around.

its too dangerous and expensive to retrieve the corpses so they just stay mummified there forever, while other climbers pass by them

Only indios are undercover gays

They also left his body down there and filled it up with concrete

Fuck. This shit makes me nauseous.

youtube.com/watch?v=L6jTRlydY-E

So did the rescuers just call down to him like, "Hey uh, we can't get you out, sorry about that. Bye."
Or was he passed out or something?

Nvm, just looked it up, he had already died

angelfire.com/trek/caver/page1.html

I guess the Putty is just too Nutty for some....

Schock would have killed him. He was kinda unconscious already at the time they reached him.

He is still in that cave...waiting.

based putty poster

>ikke klarte att lokalisere

I seriously hope there is a big cave under there and not a chute that goes on like that where you. Also this shit look so narrow that you might be fucked if your hipbones are slightly wider.

His last word were "this does not fookin slip" Rip

I'm generally a pretty fearless person, but caving can go suck a dick.

well climbing is extremely rewarding
mountain tops are a scenery like no other, plus walking up a mountain seems much less insane than crawling in a hole

Heh

It's an alternative "cave cred" entrance. Video here:

youtube.com/watch?v=FAY-t32vyds

>Boost your cave cred (like street cred but for caves) by trying to squeeze through the alternate entrance to Deep Cave in Edwards County, Texas. Note that the main entrance to the cave is in a 3 m sink just out of camera view, but you don't get any cave cred for strolling through the big entrance.

I'm always wondering about the getting down part. Seems to me that that would be much harder since you don't have the same vision downwards and some stuff like climbing over a steep crest backwards seem awkward in reverse. I'd just install a ropeline at the top and you can zoom downwards. ^^

>nutty putty cave

is that what hope solos husband calls it

Free climbing hands down. At least with that, the sense of danger comes from everything being in your control as opposed to caving where it comes from outright taking away personal control and putting you at the mercy of a fucking cave.

Just read about that guy who died in Utah cave. I don't think my life will ever be the same again. This is creepy.

>dat picture
>dis thread

POST IT

For me it's the story of David Kirwan that always creeps me out.

snopes.com/horrors/freakish/hotspring.asp

>Kirwan and Ratliff rushed over to the pool to aid the terrified dog, and Kirwan’s attitude indicated he was about to go into the spring after it. According to bystanders, several people tried to warn Kirwan off by yelling at him not to jump in, but he shouted “Like hell I won’t!” back at them, took two steps into the pool, and then dove head-first into the boiling spring.

>Kirwan swam out to the dog and attempted to take it to shore; he then disappeared underwater, let go of the dog, and tried to climb out of the pool. Ratliff helped pull Kirwan out of the hot spring (resulting in second-degree burns to his own feet), and another visitor led Kirwan to the sidewalk as he reportedly muttered, “That was stupid. How bad am I? That was a stupid thing I did.”

>Kirwan was indeed in very bad shape. He was blind, and when another park visitor tried to remove one of his shoes, his skin (which was already peeling everywhere) came off with it. He sustained third-degree burns to 100% of his body, including his head, and died the following morning at a Salt Lake City hospital. (Moosie did not survive, either.)

Fuck this shit
I'm too thicc anyways so even if I wanted to be this retarded I generally couldn't

Putty Nutty and this. What is wrong with Utah?

this thread

What happened to the dog??

imagine being left there abandoned.

Can't they just drag them on a body bag or something while they go down?

Anyone who dies at yellowstone (Which happens more often than it should) is a prime Darwin award winner. The park management does everything in their power to drill it in people's heads not to get too close to the damn water, and they put up warning signs over every inch of the park.

its too fucking expensive and dangerous

>(Moosie did not survive, either)

I don't have a fear of heights but this video gets the ol' palms sweating.

youtube.com/watch?v=2A_h2AjJaMw

>the width of the rungs up to the top

Some of the bodies are used as location markers, can't forget that

They're human beans, man!

popsicles are NOT real human beans

We all agree stuff like caving and free climbing are straight up retarded, but let's have an actual pussy test.

Could you do simple free falling from a plane? If not, you have a vagina.

You mean with a parachute? Yeah pretty that I could do it.

>googled caving pictures

youtu.be/mEDOeS782rc

Good documentary on cave diving.

i'd rather shoot myself in the head than go caving,at least the death would be quick

desu I'd rather a few freak instances of natural selection over them putting fucking fences and bullshit around every single attraction

Of course with a parachute ffs. Free falling without a parachute is just another name for suicide.

no lol, i live on the 4th floor and i still scared when im on the balcony
fuck heights

Someone post that WEBM of the kids diving head first into that swamp hole

The absolute mad men

Done it a couple times pham.
Its nice, not really worth the 200 dollars tho.

falling from a plane seems so removed from the actual fear of heights and falling and dying. In my mind, it doesn't even seem like you're throwing yourself at the ground, more just stepping out of the plane into the sky for a skywalk

Is recording your own death an sport?

>Haha you're not scared, are you user? Take your backpack off, this tunnel's a tight fit.

If 2 little girls follow into a cave, you can be sure I'm not the one getting fucked.

I just thought you were being hardcore. What you actually meant was skydiving.

Just today I was thinking that you never hear this word pulley

I want to try it at least once.

You know what's funny is that I used to be afraid of the idea until I had a dream where I was ejected towards earth from space and for a few seconds it was a nightmare until I just kind of realized there's nothing I can do about it anyway so I embraced it and that fear immediately turned in to extreme excitement, and I woke up pumped. I've wanted to try it ever since.

B-but I have my tendies on my backpack.

Kind of feel the same. The idea of it feels different from being at the top of a huge structure.

My falling dreams always start with me a couple feet from hitting the ground so I mostly just feel fear.
Skydiving is a large investment if you really want to experience it. First jump you will always be strapped to the isntructor, so is not as fun as it could be.
Anyway isn't this whole idea of extreme sports more /asp/ material?
Just asking, janny, no need to delete the thread.

>took two steps into the pool, and then dove head-first into the boiling spring.
what did he expect? wonder how he smelled afterwards though.

how is this even a job? can't they just put a pulley inside and through some engineering just change the light bulb from the ground?

...

>Anyway isn't this whole idea of extreme sports more /asp/ material?
go check out /asp/
it's just wrestling cancer as far as the eye can see,we might as well move alternative sports back here

is it time?
