- In this video, we’re going to go over three cave stories that went horrifyingly wrong, but are sort of unique among the others on the channel. In particular, the events in the first story were so unlikely and so strange that something like it will likely never happen again.

That last story… pure negligence on David’s part. He 100% should be held accountable. He is the guide for a guided tour. You don’t just leave your group like that.
Him waiting to call the cops to try to hide his negligence was disgusting & he should have been charged
Whether he left or not William would have been stuck and been unable to get out
@jthomas4361 He shouldn't have been allowed on the tour at all in the first place, honestly. They must be able to have rough estimates for the maximum size of a person that can safely pass those tight sections. He definitely should've been sent back, under monitoring, when he kept getting stuck on the way in. David DEFINITELY should've called emergency services as soon as the head injury happened, the person injured can't accurately assess how serious it is.
The rescue took many more hours because of David. They might've gotten to William in time if David was a responsible tour guide.
No he wouldn’t have. William never should’ve been in the cave in the first place, what other people said is correct. They should have had size requirements in place to even enter that cave and that was the company’s/guide’s responsibility. And yes, he could have possibly gotten out if David had : 1) led the way out and explained to them how to crawl out, for example, don’t pin an arm underneath you making you thicker and 2) if David had not delayed emergency services for three hours. He could’ve had a chance to live. David should have been charged.
Agree that David should be held accountable. The negligence started at the moment William was allowed to enter the cave and only continued to get worse. As the "guide", this David person was allegedly intimately familiar with the cave passages and should have foreseen that William's size would be prohibitive. After being allowed to crawl in, getting stuck several times along the way, there were many more opportunities for better decisions by the guide. Leaving the group is wild. Telling the group to move around and/or navigate the cave on their own after leaving them is even wilder. Refusing to immediately call for help is evener wildererr. This David person failed William and the group on so many levels. I say he failed the group as a whole even though the rest of them made it out safely because those other cavers, especially William's friend, are now scarred for life. I hope at the very least that this made David re-think his role as a cave tour guide
Unless the cave is big enough to play basketball in, I'm not going in there
Carlsbad Caverns 🤩
There should be paths, handrails, electric lighting, and a ceiling no lower than 7ft. That's my kind of cave tour.
@@nerdygem8620 I'm with you
@@nerdygem8620 Exactly. It's because we're intelligent. 😏
Unless it's big enough to play football in and can also fit a shopping mall inside of it as well, I'm not going in
This channel has confirmed that my fear of caves is completely justified
Edit: Also David is a terrible cave guide
Yes, it's also called a firm grasp on reality combined with a sense of self-preservation. Congratulations sir, you have both, and you're an introspective person, making it likely you're in the top 25% of intelligence.
Caves are fine. Underwater or flooded caves not. No for me.
@@maofria1452 we have moved on from the cave man days for a reasons. No caves

Same😮
Phil truly behaved like a leader trying to save the kids without thinking about his own safety. The parents have trusted the right guy.
Man gave his life to try and save the kids entrusted to him. May he rest in peace.
Man saved himself.
And contacted authority so he didn’t go to jail for abandoning the group
6:23 Phil died trying to get to the boys still trapped inside
No. He was a insane maniac for taking kids into that cave in the first place.
At least he never got the chance to risk anyone again.
Why? He couldn’t have predicted a literal freak accident.
The third story is a sad reminder that safety protocols are written in blood.
in blood, death, and missing limbs too.
How? There wasn't even any blood to begin with. So sick of that hacky phrase. Why are people not capable of coming up with their own words or thoughts? Really blood? Or perhaps common sense?
@@bradsanders407 it could be referring to someone's lifeblood, or a polite way that someone died.
@@bradsanders407 It refers to rules and regulations often being established only after an incident or tragedy has occurred. This goes for not just caving but most safety practices we have today.
Common sense is usually ignored until there is an injury or corpse, hence the phrase.
@@bradsanders407Maybe not with this one, and aside from what the other person explained, it’s still a wide fact. Like the lifeboats for titanic. Look up Eastland as well. Things dramatically change after disasters most of the time. Like with airplanes and the safety there. How buttons and protocols are changed. The reason we have push doors in places with that bar is another example but stuff had to happen first.
That first story was different than most of the unprepared disasters. Those scouts came completely prepared for everything...except pollution. Their leader never could have prepared for that. What a tragedy.
Absolutely.
@@nickkohlmann Yeah those old Carbide Lamps are proven tech, REALLY good and reliable. That explosion... could have come from ANY ignition source. That just happened to be the one they had with them.
Imagine when it came out what the real source of the gasoline was. How horrible.
@@littlebear274 Or imagine laying in the darkness just after the blast trying to figure out what the fuck just happened and why.
17:18 It was at this point that David set out everything needed to charge him with criminal negligence. He knew that at least one person on the tour had physical difficulties moving through the cave, so leaving them without any experience help was profoundly irresponsible.
E
One thing I like about this channels is how some stories aren’t complete disasters, with either minimal or no casualties at all like story 2, giving just enough of a change of tone to add real suspense to the rest of the stories
Dudes in story two were absolutely consummate professionals. No panic, just established a plan of action and carried it out. Everyone got out and went home. I like hearing stories like that on here now and then. Adds a nice counterbalance to the stories that are an absolute shrimp-show.
@@aluminumsalmongames6277 It also goes to highlight that stories that go horribly wrong... aren't always predestined to fail. Often, they're a reflection of mistakes and poor choices. Making GOOD choices... makes a HUGE difference.
Story 2 could have so easily become a disaster, even with doing everything right. Just one odd mistake coming out could have ended in tragedy.
Thats true for literally everything. Your walk to the park could have ended in tragedy with one simple mistake. Your trip down the stairs could have ended in disaster with one misstep. @justinphoenix21
-exactly ... !-
That last story, yeah no that's totally David's fault and the company should be held liable.
Liable
As was said already my brother it’s Liable not libel. No judgment whatsoever just wanted to let you know for future reference my friend 🙏🏼 have a great day
for freaking sure; James is probably doing what he needs to to cope but in no way is David not culpable
Absolutely. I was wondering why the FYCK he wasn't charged for 3rd degree murder???
@@WichoSuavee if its already said then why you gotta repeat it?
Guided tour means your guide is with you. If the guide has to leave, the group is to stay put until the guide comes back.
Then not getting help ASAP, especially with a head injury and a tourist that was struggling? That should be criminal.
Just listening to these stories makes me claustrophobic. Luckily, I get to be a bit scared without any more danger than I would ordinarily have in my own home.
Boy you said it just listening makes me claustorphobic !! and that last story at that age I was 6 foot tall 220 pounds the same as the deceased !!!...
As long as cavers and divers exist this channel will never die

"So long as tragedy befalls others, I dhall receive entertainment."

Story 3 is just a grave reminder that safety protocols and adequate supervision is so very vital in many situations, however benign they may seem. They're kinda like umbrellas on rainy days - at most a little annoying if you didn't get to use it, but you will DEFINITELY regret it if you didn't bring it and ended up needing it.
I bet you are fun at parties
Wear a poncho, instead of umbrella. Foldable, fits inside a large pocket, or woman's handbag.
@@DecrepitBiden you definitely carry a woman’s handbag
A GRAVE reminder indeed...
@@DecrepitBiden Not to mention, less prone to being blown inside-out, and less dangerous during thunderstorms.
When my step-dad was a kid, him and his friends would use clothes lines to zip line off cliffs in the sandstone caves in St. Paul Minnesota. He still doesn't understand how any of then never died.
Sometimes luck says you get to live. I had a mouth on me when I was younger, surprised I didn’t get shot or stabbed considering the areas I lived and the people I talked shit to.
@@libatako Also zipline weigh limits are based on body weight, and 80-pound kid doing something will succeed where a 200-pound man won't.
As a kid I more than once walked on ice covering a small pond. I was one bad step away from the ice breaking and I knew it. I could hear and feel the ice shifting under me. If I'd weighed 10 pounds more... well.. I'd have never even gotten onto the ice sheet at all. I'd have cracked the ice before I managed to even stand on it.
Clothes lines! Wowza!
@@marhawkman303change your profile picture you cultist
I've been in caves, but none where I've had to do more than squat down a bit to get through. There's no way I'm climbing into an opening I have to squirm and crawl through.
,👍👍
I'm not going into any cave where it isn't possible for 2 people to walk side by side
I can't believe the tour guide from the last story :O just up and left wtf
I would too, no job is worth risking my life.
@@TheRealCatof He’s a TOUR GUIDE and just don’t work at the job then
@@iluvmymoms Don't go on tours into strange caves
@@TheRealCatofguide led people into the cave and ran away leaving the group, because no job is worth risking your own life? Are you an idiot or something? If you'll leave a group of people like that, you shouldn't be guiding them into the cave in the first place.
@@TheRealCatofthen don’t have a job where you go into strange caves.
Just in case anyone needs to review this weeks material:
- CAVE BAD
thank you for coming to my ted talk
😅😊😂
Ah yes my scheduled reminder to absolutely never go spelunking
Lol. ordinary caving is actually a very safe hobby. Activities like fishing and horse riding are far more dangerous statistically (slipping and drowning and falls), but don't have the same 'fear of the unknown'. Cave diving is a different matter though and you really need to know what you're doing.
The main issue with caving is that if things do go wrong you're often somewhere isolated where it's hard to get help. Which is why experienced cavers follow standard safe caving procedures and rather than being risk taking adrenaline junkies tend to be very calm, analytical people in my experience.
The vast majority of the incidents in these videos are of inexperienced idiots who did stupid things. If you join a proper caving club, go with someone experienced and follow standard safe caving procedures and use a bit of common sense, e.g checking weather forecasts, etc then the risk is very small.
It's also important to be aware that many of the cave diving stories are either open water divers who thought it might be fun to go cave diving, but had zero cave diving experience so made avoidable mistakes. Or are from the early pioneering days. Equipment and safety procedures have moved on a lot since then.
If anyone wants to try caving SAFELY the best thing to do is join your local caving club and go with someone experienced.
Here's a useful link.
newtocaving.com/
Funnily enough videos of this genre (the caving and hiking ones) have made me *more* want to get back into outdoors stuff. Unfortunately I have long covid on top of physical disabilities so I will stay safely at home where I won't put anyone at risk having to rescue me. Even going out of the city to see the Southern Lights the other night had me feeling rough the next day, I really miss being able to do that sort of thing.
Is it wrong these stories make me want to go? Like "wow, that sounds terrifying, but I'd be more cautious."
@@weasel7491nah cause caves are absolutely beautiful, I went on a tour through one recently that nearly had me in tears from the amazing beauty. That was a developed one that has walk ways through but a little while later found one where a creek came out and after like 200 feet of crawling through came to a like 60 foot tall waterfall inside the cave which was just such a cool experience. It's also one of the only ways to experience true darkness which is a very interesting experience. Just gotta be careful and judge things well especially if you're going into a cave with water in it, one of the ones I really wanted to go into just had too much water flow for me to be comfortable and I'll just have to go when it's drier
I know of a 13 year old girl who was hit in the head by a puck at an NHL game. She never lost conciseness and though she had a terrible headache from the blow she seemed to be fine.
She did not want to stay at the game as the cheering made her headache worse.
She and her mom made their way back to the car, but in the parking lot the girl suddenly collapsed and died without warning. Autopsy showed she had not suffered a skull fracture or concussion but the injury had caused a blood vessel in her brain had been weekend and it started to bleed a few minutes after the impact. This caused slight pressure on the dura which was the source of he pain. As she made her way out to the car the vessel failed and nearly instantly killed her.
Don't mess with head trauma. The person might seem fine even if they are already dying.
That's really terrifying!!! I hope Mother sued , there should be some kind of nets protecting the audience....
Exactly. In Poland a few years back a primary school student tripped in a classroom and bumped his head on the edge of a desk. The school nurse patched the bruise and he went home. The parents didn't rush him to the hospital, because he seemed fine. He died a couple of hours later from internal head trauma.
Like that one actress who hit her head skiing, said she was fine then died.
If I have to exhale to fit through, that’s a giant “nope” from me.
I did a spelunking program at boy scout camp in my youth, we crawled through three different caves in South Dakota. One of them had a narrow passage like the one in Story 3, before we even left camp everyone had to wiggle through a wooden box tunnel that was made slightly narrower than the cave tunnel to verify you could fit without getting stuck.
One of the caves, the Jewel Cave (220 miles of explored passageways, and not fully explored yet) has a regular tour path, that has an elevator and guided paths and everything that most people go on. We had a guide who took us "off path" and one of the sections had us crawling through magnesium (I think, been over 20 years) that covered us head to toe in black dirt. We looked like coal miners, complete with hard hats, lamps, and glow sticks. We still exited through the same elevator that the regular tour groups used. When the elevator reached the visitor center and opened up, a tour group was there waiting to go down and the look of absolute horror on their faces when we came out was hilarious. I'll never forget it, they were panicking that they'd come out looking as dirty as we did.
I'd love to explore more caves, that program was probably the most fun I've ever had in my life still to this day, but I wouldn't even know where to begin or how to connect up with experienced folks who could guide me.
Likely magnetite, which is black iron ore, magnesium is silver in color and quite reactive so tends not to be found naturally as a metal, but as white oxide powder, or as a salt crystal often dissolved in water. Magnetite is non-toxic so its not a big drama to crawl though, but you'd absolutely end up looking like a coal miner. Its always been a shame to me that instead of making most of those programs safer (monoxide detection patches are pretty cheap and widely used in light aircraft ect, helmets, lighting and even communications) we've mostly just stopped doing them, then blame the people that grew up without an introduction to such hobbies for not being as active or having an interest in starting them during their busy adult lives.
Ask Google for "caving clubs near me"?
Edit: caving clubs are known as "grottoes." A googling pulled up a list for my state.
Ok
The National Speleological Society has something like 250+ chapters, covering most states.
Story 3 the supervisor abandoned them. Imagine if you're in a plane and you had a pilot say just have a look around and then land the plane at the airport and then he parachutes out of the plane, that's what he equivalently done. 😐😐😐
He knew that at least one person had problems fitting through the cave.
I mean yes, its happened several times that pilots have been rendered unable to fly or advise, and passengers have had to be talked through how to land the plane by air traffic control. For instances where they have maintained good radio contact and the aircraft isn't otherwise seriously damaged, its an extremely high success rate. That seems a lot less of an issue than being underground with no contact or advice.
@@SheepInACart true. That was my first thought that come to mind I did realise that it's not exactly equivalent I thought it was an analogy somewhat similar!
@@SheepInACartImagine there was no air traffic control telling them how to land the plane. It would be a lot more similar
So now I'm scared of caves, mineshafts, and oceans
If you watch MrBallen you will also become scared of chimnies and vents.
Ad Disasterthon and you won't like theme parks
What about ocean caves?
And closets and airplanes and water slides!
I’m now scared of leaving my home! So many dangerous activities. Even driving to store for supplies can end up having a semi take my little car out
I’m surprised at how many experienced cavers don’t think to check the weather before planning a caving expedition to make sure theres no storms that could cause flooding
Yeah.. but they could also be in an area where short-term weather prediction just _sucks_, too.
I'm in one, probably a combination of not being an especially dangerous area weatherwise (and thus underfunded), being near the edge of my local Weather Service office's range, along with all the hills and valleys -- half the time predictions can't get any more accurate than "there will be rain Somewhere In Your Half Of The Range This Weekend"
@@talec_arashi Has it occurred to you- you haven’t seen this weather because it isn’t in your area? Just a logical thought.
@@JayJayShawtyBaeYour “logical thought” added literally nothing to the conversation. Dude literally said the weather service by him is so bad they can’t make any accurate predictions.
I hear that, It was supposed to rain in my area for a couple days now and a storm that shouldve started hours ago. still nothing. Well get em next time
These horrific cave stories are like a little treat

@@TheCristianalvarez or their loved ones lol
Kinda messed up to describe stories where people lost their lives as “a little treat.” The stories are fascinating, sure, but this feels a bit heartless
7:15 I love this editing, revealing the cave to us like it was revealed to Nevin & Co. Little touches like that really set this channel apart.
E
That David guy in the story makes me so mad.
E
Regarding the third story, I saw a video about this same incident on another channel. There, the youtuber also said that both James and William had to sign waivers regarding their safety twice. In that version of the story, the reluctance of David to call emergency was interpreted, perhaps correctly but too late, by William and James as trying to keep this issue from causing any loss of business or reputation to the company that operated the caves as a tourist attraction given the existing crowd on the simpler and safer caves at the time.
"...will likely never happen again..."
"HERE! HOLD MY BEER!"
Ah yes the universal law that when you try to make something idiot proof, the universe will invent a better idiot.
@@nargileh1 Well part of it is simply.... how many caves have enough natural gas to set off explosions? I learned how to use Carbide Lamps as a child... keeping them away from natural gas is just part of procedure. But walking into a random cave room with both enough oxygen to burn AND enough flammable gas to explode is incredibly rare. It COULD happen today.... just have a guy decide to light up in the wrong cave. Carbide Lamps aren't needed as the ignition source. ANY flame works.
LMFAO 😂😂😂
@@nargileh1Bahahahahahaa YESSS!! 🤣🤣🤣
That thumbnail is horrendous!!! I actually gasped. Bravo!
Congratulations on your gasp!!
Let's enjoy our Infinite supply of oxygen, shall we?
I gasped oxygen
Who in their right mind would go into such tight spaces...
The one and only decision that contributed to William's death... he was too large for that part of the tour, and should have been warned by the staff that he cannot get safely through that tiny tunnel. He died because of 'that' reason, and no other reason. It seems to me like common sense that there should be metal wall signs that warn you of the tightness of these sorts of passages inside of public caves. But sadly, common sense is hard to find.
Here is an example of what the sign might say... "This is a tight hole. If you are over 5' 10' or 170 pounds, you probably should not try to crawl through it. You will get stuck, and die." LOL
@@mydogjesusyes but I’m sure that many overweight people would consider it discrimination…😂
3:11 You know it's about to turn bad when that iconic creepy music ques!
You know your doomed when your doing something and you hear The Cave Music
@@tnntaronewsnetwork4514 "The Cave Music" is the perfect way to describe it!

I'd like to see more on-screen notations notating if an image is authentic or not. Like, if it's actually from the place/situation/person/etc being discussed at that moment or...ya know? That'd be cool, not just for this channel but any good channel worth it's salt. Thanks. I still love the vids either way.
David's ego got in the way...
I don't think it was ego, I think he just didn't want to get in trouble in his job. He knew he shouldn't have left the group behind. He probably thought it would look bad on him if emergency services were called, especially since he left people behind.
@@AyeliaGDoren- yea but by that time it was too late !!! Not to mentio. I think he would of made points because he was being very cautious with his people ??

i thought cave exploring can't get worse than getting stuck, enter gasoline
Me and my girlfriend went spelunking with a guide, in one of Swedens most well known cave systems. It's got a section where you can walk along walkways, but this was marketed as a cave adventure, where you go deeper, partially by boat. It was an incredible experience, but it taught me how easy it is to overestimate what one is ready for physically. I used to be a girlscout, so I assumed that it would be decently easy for me, and most of it was, but for one section, you were sort of meant to sit down on a ledge near the water and gradually move sideways across. It was clear that the guides saw this as super easy, so they didn’t take me very seriously when I got stuck midway due to lack of armstrength to heavy myself across, and weren't very prepared when I fell into the ice cold water. You're dressed very properly, and they were decently fast at catching me, so I really don’t think I was in any serious danger, but it just made me think about how easy it is to see yourself as more competent than you are, and regardless of how safe it was, it FELT terrifying, especially with the guides confusion. It's a very, very challenging environenment for the unaccustomed.
Bro don’t girlscouts just sell cookies? How does that give you diving experience
Ah, sorry! It wasn’t diving, just travellling by boat and wading through deep water. Again, was a little more intense than just a short walk through a bridged path, but it was also REALLY not advanced spelunking. And also I realise that I miswrote. Language barrier I suppose. I was a "girl" scout, not a girlscout, it's a mixed gender organisation in Sweden. We climb mountains, ski, go on long hikes, canoe and sail, and do other generally "adventurous/physically demanding" activities. I've never sold cookies in my life. For the longest time, as a child I thought that was just a funny/weird trope of american movies, and was slightly horrified when I realised there’s actually gendered activites. So I used to be quite active, and then underestimated how much capacity I'd lost since I'd gotten older
Honestly this is very much only tangentially related, but sometimes watching videos like this I just think about how easy it is to be unprepared if you don’t do adventurous activities regularly
Yes I love the cave music! Man I still remember when you have just under 100k subs, it feels like yesterday, your channel blew up so quickly it's mind-blowing.
Fun fact: the caving anthem “music” is a real aquatic sonar noise that an actual shipwreck was putting off from under the water…(*something to that fact)
Reminder to self before caving: Think like a miner. Additional Tools needed for cave exploration. Pickaxe, small shovel, bucket or bag. Always start with clearing tight tunnels before entering. Do not squeeze through tight spaces. The shape of the hole and angle of rocks jutting out is not the same going in as they are when trying to get out.
AND a stick of Dynamite!
Reminder to me….avoid caving
Absolutely never forget the dynamite, long paracords, and trained ferrets with harnesses.
Never go below ground without em.
Thanks for the clear visuals, they really help with understanding the stories!
Just have to say how great it is to see the diagrams and pics of these intricate cave systems and the predicaments these cases have. Makes things much easier to understand and respect the situations cavers and rescuers are in to navigate these places!
Thanks for great content!
Normal Guides: Please don't leave the group!
David: Alright guys I'm going to head out first do whatever
Massive props to whoever does the graphics in your videos, those tight corridors never fail to instill pure existential dread into me. Holy fuck, I could never. Getting stuck in a cave is one of my worst fears.
you truly discover new fears as you grow older. went to a theme park one time and rode a coaster, realized I had a fear of heights. went snorkeling and discovered a mild fear of deep waters
now, as I watch this, I feel like I'm getting claustrophobic and developing a fear of caves too. hopefully, these fears are good. hopefully, these fears will keep me safe 🥲💀
Friends don't let friends go caving.
Whenever he says "I hope I'll see you in the next one" I'm just like, I sure hope not 😂
This channel makes me happy I’m a lowlife sperg who will never experience higher emotions or any level of challenge whatsoever
I fugging love you
You could do the stupid tiktok challenges, like ice bucket, spoon of cinnamon, or any other stupid challenges.
nice slur dude
@@DecrepitBiden The cinnamon one is the worst. If you do manage to eat it, the coumarin can make you sick or agitate liver problems.
@@DecrepitBiden are you from 2014?
Everyone: just never go caving ever!!!!
I wouldn’t care if there was a briefcase full of $25,000,000 in unmarked bills and bearer’s bonds waiting at the bottom of these caves, I’m not going in.
Some caves are safer than any buildings humans can build. Some are very dangerous. Not all.
All caves are dangerous. If you want to live, do not go in. Just ask John Jones
If it's dry, I might go for it. If it's underwater, no way.....
Lol. I've been caving for over 30 years. Never had a problem. That's because when I started I made sure I joined a proper caving club, went with experienced people, learnt safe caving procedures and use a bit of common sense. if you do that it's pretty low risk.😀
Cave diving is another matter. You really need to know what you're doing.
Quick question:
Would you consider fishing or horse riding? Because statistically they are far more dangerous. The odds of slipping and drowning whilst fishing or having a bad fall from a horse are much higher than having a caving accident.
can't fathom yet can't stop imagining the horror of watching a friend fall in front of you like that 😢 It's such a shame when people make life or death mistakes to avoid getting in trouble. Shame shame shame.

Almost it’s still so irregular. Idk why this particular video is so off cuz I sometimes relax to this channel while I’m falling asleep but this one was just awful fast and jarring patterns
It’s amazing that you keep finding more cave stories- they are my favorites. Hope you are doing well out there dude.
Your channel is absolutely horrifying and captivating all at once! I feel weird saying that it’s one of my favorite CZcams channels because of the events but at the same time, you do such a great job at depicting and describing these events! Amazing work, Thank you for your contents!
David!!!… … You’re FIRED!
It always boogles my mind WHY someone would voluntarily squeeze through a tight rocky hole UPSIDE down.
I just finished binge watching all uploads!! I will be looking out for the next ones, ty
My guy... I just want to say that i absolutely love your videos!!!!!!!!!!! I've been watching for a decently long time now, and every single time that you upload something new I'm beyond and excited and happy lol. :) Thanks man
Leaving a group unattended that you are responsible for goes way beyond negligent. As a guide it was David's responsibilitiy to be attentive and aware of any pending issues. He would also have been well aware of the dimensions of the tunnels he intended taking people through and as such should have realized and adamantly refused to allow William to take that particular tour because of his size. It's no different than enforcing size restrictions for rides at a fair.
Aaahhh the highlight of my week!💕 thank you 💪🏻
Love the videos, please keep finding new stories and doing such great content. Everything you do is exceptional and you should be proud of your work.
I will never understand why someone would squeeze through a hole in a cave with the risk of getting stuck.
So glad to see this after binge watching all your other ones 😩

Ty for making these videos. I've been obsessed since I discovered this channel.
You’re definitely a great storyteller! The way you tell the stories keeps me on the edge of my seat! RIP to those who lost their lives.
It feels good that i never have to face anything like this.
A few thoughts:
Story 2: Sounds like they weren't in great danger as they had sleeping bags and supplies which may have let them wait out the flood, although you can never be certain.
One thing they didn't do was build a dam and bail out the duck (the semi-submerged bit of passenger). This is standard practice when encountering a duck with that little airspace. Another couple of inches can make all the difference (or so the girls tell me😉😁).
Perhaps it was too big a section for the cavers themselves to attempt to bail, however the rescuers could have done so and used pumps.
Story 3: IMO this was gross negligence. You NEVER leave novices like that. And why weren't they life lined up the ladders? Again this is standard procedure to stop people falling like that.
Furthermore they clearly weren't taught the correct way to go through a crawl, which is:
1) Before entering a crawl stop and look into it and note any tight points, plus any landmarks to ensure you're on the right track as it's often hard to see when you're actually in the crawl. Watch how the person in front of you tackles it. If they went through easily copy what they did, if they made hard work of it learn from their mistakes.
2) Adopt the 'Superman' position one arm in front, the other tucked into your side and use you thighs to push like a commando crawl. Your legs are much stronger than your arms.
Your shoulders are the widest part of your body so this reduces you profile and the arm sticking out can be used to grab hand holds, etc. It also stops yours arms getting pinned by your sides. Sometimes it's easier to put both arms, not just one in front, though this widens your shoulders.
Caving's a fun hobby and in reality accidents are very rare. Especially if you follow standard safe caving practice and a bit of common sense. The vast majority of these videos are about people who didn't.
For anyone who fancies giving caving a try and wishes to do so SAFELY, here's a useful link to the BCRA (British Cave Research Association).

The detailed descriptions of the cave explorations really depict the danger involved in caving. It was really unfortunate what happened to some of the explorers in these stories. May their experiences serve as cautionary tales for future adventurers.
One of the best documentary channels on CZcams…..brilliant!
For some reason I can't get enough of the "People Dying in Caves" Channel.
as someoene who went to caves only surpevised and with experts I am glad I am sitting in my living room now
I too am glad you're in the LIVING room.
I really like the infographics of your videos now. Good job, keep the excellent content coming!
Hooray! Another video describing the horrors of cave exploration!
I would not want my son to go into a cave with a Scout troop
Just wanted to say thank you, Sean for your time and effort to tell us stories in such an impressive way.
Also you have a soothing voice 😊
Congrats on 1m subs man!! Can’t believe it took this long! Keep going strong ❤
Damn, your cave stories always give me claustrophobia. Looking forward to the next mountaineering story. I love your monochromatic style it stirs in my mind scenes of Holy Mountain. I was never limber enough to try climbing but I'm thrilled by heights and mountains. Love your channel, keep producing. Please.
It's clear that at least one of those kids had no business being in that cave. Tight restrictions are a beast even when you're in good shape.
Possibly, but I'd say the main issue was he approached it wrong with both arms by his sides, plus the fact it was a sloping passage was a huge factor.
A good leader would have taught them how to crawl properly in the 'Superman' position with one arm above your head, one tucked into your side and push with your thighs. This makes it easier to get your shoulders through and prevents your arms getting pinned.
However the most important thing of all is to take a moment and look into the crawl before you attempt it. Note the easiest route, any tight points and any landmarks to keep you on track as your view is much more restricted once you're actually in the crawl. Planning your route and sticking to the widest bits of the passage makes a big difference.
Again I suspect he didn't do this as he was an unsupervised novice who simply wouldn't have known to do so. His fall and bang to the head wouldn't have helped either. Which was again down to negligence as they should have been life-lined up the ladders which is standard safe caving procedure.
I'd also like to know how they were equipped/what they were wearing. It's possible something he was wearing got snagged. I wonder if they used harnesses to get up the climbs and then because the leader had fucked off didn't remove them for the crawl? Or if they were just wearing old clothes, rather than a one-piece oversuit, his belt or waistband could have got caught?
Despite what most people think getting stuck is extremely rare as normally you can just back out with a bit of wriggling and swearing.
Getting stuck is only really a danger if the passage is sloping downwards. Then it's hard to back out as gravity is working against you. That's what sounds to have happened here and also with John Jones in Nutty Putty and Neil Moss in Peak cavern.
I'm glad my parents were parents and said no to certain things.
2:06 HE SAID THE THING!
SAY THE LINE BART
this channel taught me that caving is basically flipping a coin to die and cave diving is just suicide.
I just discovered this channel last week and it's now my favorite content on youtube
Hey, I love these videos, but could I ask if it was possible to either add subtitles or talk a bit more clearly and articulating words a bit more? I'm not a native english speaker and though I understand a lot, I feel like you're "swallowing" some of the words and speaking too quickly sometimes and I have trouble understanding some parts. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Hi, i had the same issue sometimes with understanding and just wanted to let you know that the generated closed captions you can turn on in the video settings are pretty good and help me understand parts that aren’t as clear. It gets a few words wrong sometimes but it’s better than nothing in my opinion ^^
HYPE!! ANOTHER CAVE VIDEO
Wow you made it to more than a million Sean! Good for you! You deserve it.
Another brilliant video. Thanks Sean
David should be charged tbh...
To misquote Al Bundy: "Would you rather A) go caving or B) .." "B!!!!!"
just recently found that several of my caver friends are also obsessed with this channel lol
It's super creepy. But your background sound makes it 10 times creepier 😭
Went to the Rushmore caves in South Dakota some years back, and that got tight.. I'm 5'8, 145lbs .. they had this option to try and go to a certain part of the cave that was literally a square foot in diameter... Simply said "nope"😂😂
I’m 6’4. 250lbs. No way I’m going in 😂
Things you should never hear in a cave : "Just popping out to make a quick call, you guys just try and muddle along, m'kay?"
15:38 I am not at all claustrophobic but I could NEVER. The feeling of not having the ability to back out even if I wanted too is just too terrifying of a thought.
