As a former spelunker, this story has been used to scare newbies straight ever since it happened. I assume the same goes for cave rescue folks. Point being: don’t over-commit, plan ahead, exercise proper safety, and for crying out loud don’t ever pin your arms and hands in a crawl.
I like a lot of things related to rocks: hiking, rock climbing and snowboarding. At one point in time I was thinking about spelunking, but then this story happened…
Seems to be a recurring theme for me today so I’m just gonna run with it :>
