Want some real anxiety? This is video of the "birth canal" that John and his brother were trying to get to and where John thought he was:

People that do that shite are beyond stupid. I don’t care that it’s for the adrenaline rush.


I don’t even understand what the “adrenaline rush” of forcibly confining yourself in a tiny space supposedly is (certainly not like sky diving, high diving, or anything like that), but I am quite terribly claustrophobic.

I would have asked them to pump some gas in there and just put me down. That’s an absolutely awful way to go

I was thinking they tried, but couldn't really get to him to do it.

Same here. As well as heights. It seems like every year I start getting a little nervous one step lower on a ladder than the year before.

when I was in junior high school i read a story about some guy getting trapped in a cave like this. Ever since then I have an awful phobia about getting trapped like that. No way I’m walking into a cave or anything like that. I’m not claustrophobic… but this is my worst nightmare - i couldn’t even read your whole post but unfortunately saw the picture …

Learned about this on the OT a few months ago. No way in hell anyone should be doing dumb shite like that when you have a family. That really is a selfish thing to do. Some things you have to just say "Ah, the good ol days..."
