Drowned in a narrow tunnel | Mossdale Cave Tragedy

Thanks! One of my personal favorites from this channel. A true thrilling adventure from beginning to end.

Being a mountaineer myself I normally avoid criticising the sports that people elect to pursue - but when it comes to caving, I'm sorry the sport is idiotic. Having now watched several of these tragic videos the same ultimate causes of the tragedy are apparent - over confidence and a preparedness to actually gamble. To enter a restricted space on an assumption that the space ahead may or may not open up, may or may not be a dead end whilst all the time once committed being unable to crawl back is nothing short of stupidity.

This is just kamaze style suicide, 😮😮

Basic intelligence is the key to survival.

"important mapping work"......

Madmen

I'm not claustrophobic or anything but these videos are horrifying.. I keep watching them all tho 😅

I mean, the world need some population management, in order for the smarts to exist you also need the stupids.

My many years of experience have taught me the best way not to drown in a tiny crevice underground is not to go crawling in them.

Why would anyone do this? Madness.

Seeing how people die when caving,l just wonder how cave mem survived.

I am not sad for their Death tbh. I mean you must take all primitive measures and consider all risk factors before going into this Abyss. They didn't take the Cave seriously.

I'm convinced that most of these people that do this all have "main character" syndrome and way too much confidence in their own abilities...

Every comment seems to have the same underlying question. Who in theee hell would ever want to go caving?? Looks stupid, miserable and dangerous! Fun!

Nope

Most caves are formed over millions of years from mass water flows. How is this considered fun.

Crawling around in these caves feels legitimately like something you would sentence people to as punishment.

What do they expect to find? Davey Jones' Locker, Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, a UFO? It's just water and rock and death

They closed the barn door after the horse got away…feel sorry for the fiancé

Its wild that people are into this shit.

lol

That marathon stretch is insane, imagine committing to a 900ft crawl, with no possibility to turn around, impossible to back up, not knowing if the way ahead is blocked hundreds of feet ahead by a rock fall, or that one of your mates in front might have a medical emergency and block it, dooming you.

I only ever hear "the cave was closed" after at least one such deadly incident - why don't we just close them off to begin with?
As soon as it is comprehendable that a cave is even just "dangerous" or possibly deadly, close that fucker up, have thrill seekers seek therapy for a change.
If you find a poisonous snake in your garden, you call animal control to get rid of it safely, not prance around in hopes it won't bite you, but get excited over the possibility that it might while you admire its scales and pattern...
No sense of exploration or love for nature and its formations or being bored by everyday life should override humanity's instincts for survival to the point of squeezing into earth's crust on any day of the week and even if you can't be stopped then - make sure there is absolutely no chance in hell it is gonna rain first.

I can't wait to never go caving. Ever.

These men deserve the Darwin Award. They worked hard to win the award. 😂😂

what's oh so important about mapping yet another perilous cave?

Never understood the WHY. It's just rocks and dangerous.

Someone needs to make this a vr experience.

Just can’t understand the attraction of this activity. They are flirting with death.

I love these stories, the ones where people make it out alive. Keep the good stories coming. I like to listen to them from the safety of my house.

This was a lot more elaborate and well explained than the ‘scary interesting’ take on this

People will watch this and still be like "bro it's fine just check the weather forecast"

i dont understand why in the fuck wouldnt you get the hell out of there when you see water coming in. know your weather. like what did they expect? its going to fill up if it rains man.

F**ing white people

unless it's minecraft, i ain't goin nowhere near a cave

Play stupid games, win stupid prices.

A tragedy is when someone, while doing nothing out of the ordinary, is suddenly and unfairly turned into a dead person by unforseeable events out of their control. An elevator falling down, lightning strike in the middle of a street, a gas explosion. A collapsing mine, if we are being more topical.
An extreme activities enjoyer losing their life in a predictably dangerous environment for no good reason outside of being an adrenaline junkie is a cautinary tale, not a tragedy.

Im glad I made the decision to give up caving the day I was born 😮‍💨

Why… just, fucking why…

Stupid Yte people😂

Risking your life to document a cave, idiots

Why do they do like that? (Cavers)

Ban caving!

Absolutely stunning? Probably not the word i would have used

Why people are doing this shit?

The only time I’d ever go caving is if the cave is HUGE AND OPEN. I ain’t gonna try to squeeze into no tiny hole or passage if I can’t stand and jump around I ain’t coming 😵‍💫 of course the reason people love doing this is one the adrenaline I’m sure it’s like a high to them, and two I’m sure some of the things people have seen have been beautiful, but beautiful things aren’t worth a humans life, ever.

While I cannot fault their dedication, I think it is entirely insane to knowingly risk your life squeezing through these underground passages.

i cannot believe normal people do this

How the hell do you find PERFECT imagery of exactly what you’re describing as you tell the story? It really makes the content that much better the way you splice videos and images as if it’s the people in the exact situation you’re describing. Bravo 👏🏼
