Ive hated the act of cave diving for years and the recent trend of people making fun of it on tiktok has given me the validation to rant about it.
Cave diving is such a suicidal activity. How do you hear about a place called "Thats The Size Of A Shoelace" or "Bing Bang Soup' and think 'holy shit i NEED to get my ass in there!'
Why???? For clout? For bragging rights?? Did you lose a bet???
These type of caves have signs on them like 'hey moron, if you go in that hole over there, you'll get stuck and die of dehydration. No, you cant sue.'
Not to sound like john krammer but i swear to god people who do this shit have such a lack of a appreciation for their life. How are you born with NEGATIVE self preservation instinct.
And of course people that have died while cave diving is very unfortunate but i cant help but think of a certain song about train safety from 2012.
There are other dangerous, potentially life threatening activities you can do such as sky diving. However its really unlikely for something to go wrong and that kind of thing gives you the adrenaline rush people seek in cocaine.
Cave diving is slowly crawing through a tunnel as big as a possums tail and slowly paniking when you realise youve lost feeling in your arms and cant move to get out. The only thing youre getting in there is light headed and a loss of circulation.
Some people truly understand the meaning of free will and use it to spite god.
