Yeah Mr ballen constantly tells stories of retards dying in caves like they're horror stories when it is probably the most avoidable form of death on the planet.

There are caves and caves. Some of the them are very rewarding and magnificent.

Same here...glad I know I'm claustrophobic through video clips.

Yeah, my mind gets twisted by pretty much anybody who enjoys going really high or really low. I don't get the sweaty palms from videos like this, but videos taken from really high up will actually make me anxious. Some people just seem wired to do things I consider stupid. I had a good friend who always felt the urge, no matter what lake we would get in (in my neck of the woods we have thousands of "little lakes"), to swim to the bottom of the lake and get a handful of the lakebed. Why? Who the fuck knows. But it was a compulsion. He also seemed bothered if he didn't attempt to swim without aid across any given lake. It's shit that would never even occur to me as something I ought to do. But I guess we can be glad humanity has retards like this who push the boundaries of what is stupid. Darwin needs them. The rest of us in the peanut gallery either mock or praise them, depending on whether they're successful or dead.

Brothers of the mine rejoice!
Swing, swing, swing, with me
Raise your pick and raise your voice!
Sing, sing, sing, with me
Down and Down into the deep
Who knows what well find beneath diamonds, rubies, gold and more
Hidden in the mountain store
Born underground
Suckled from a teat of stone
Raised in the dark
The safety of our mountain home
Skin made iron
Steel in our bones
To dig and dig makes us free
Come on brothers sing with me
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy digging hole, diggy diggy hole,diggy diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole


The sunlight will not reach this low
Deep deep in the mine
Never see the blue moon glow
Dwarves won't fly so high
Fill a glass and down some mead
Stuff your bellies at the feast
Stumble home and fall asleep
Dreaming in our mountain keep
Born underground
Grown Inside a rocky womb
The earth is our cradle
The mountain shall become our tomb
Face us on the battlefield
You will meet your doom
We do not fear what lies beneath
We could never dig too deep
I am a dwarf and I'm digging agole
Diggy diggy hole, Diggy diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole,Diggy diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole diggy diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole digging a hole

Born under grouned
Suckled from a teat of stone
Raised in the dark
The safety of our mountain
Skin made of iron
Steel in our bones
To dig and dig makes us free
Come on brothers sing with me
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole,diggy diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole diggy diggy hole, digging a hole

They are not stupid they just exhibit a higher risk tolerance. Thrilseekers can sky dive, join the military, play with snakes, its all the opposite of risk aversion.

I think the clumsy fuck behind him tripped and took dude man down with him. Maybe they were tethered or something, but what in the gad damn fuck were they doing there to begin with? Goin to look at rocks? That's fuckin retarded.

The cave was too full of water and the guy in the lead, Mineral Dude, ran out of air pockets and almost drowned.

I had a friend almost die. If you kick up sand, you can't see shit. Go with a partner and use a line. Seriously, my bro almost died in one.

My sentiments exactly.
