    Brave people push boundaries so that less brave people can read things in books.

    Edit: I assume the people downvoting this obvious truth think I’m calling them cowards. I assure you I will be right there with you curled up reading books about caving. Fuck all that.

        Seriously. He could’ve shone a flashlight down there and seen it was a death trap before going down

          I think he was already fucked. His only option was to keep going in hopes a section lay ahead big enough for him to turn around and start crawling out

      Well, yes, but you can be brave and take precautions at the same time. He wouldn’t have died if he’d followed proper caving guidelines.

          “Because it’s there,” I assume. But if you’re gonna have a potentially dangerous hobby, you should at least be sure to take the necessary precautions before risking your life.

            Like having a good life insurance policy that pays out even if you die doing something stupid? And maybe having a fake tooth filled with cyanide so you can go out quickly instead of dying of exposure?

        And yet, here you are reading about it, reading others’ thoughts about it, and engaged in a conversation about it.

        Think of it like a book club.
