get people trying to feel alive. I do. I understand their desire to push their limits and find things that add some verve to life that may not be there in the day to day. But to be willing to squeeze yourself between a mountain so tightly that you have to suck in your stomach and contort your body to squeeze through dark and narrow passageways...this kind of caving is something I can't get my mind around. It's impressive that people do it, but I also find it crazy.

I don’t get it either. Dark, wet, close quarters, who knows what critters in there. You get stuck you get to sit for hours/days until you die. Might as well be buried in a coffin alive.

I understand doing things like skydiving, at least if that goes wrong you die instantly
