 Buried Alive: the Nutty Putty Cave Incident I know this has been discussed but I don’t recall seeing this video posted. I went to these caves a few times almost 30 years ago. I never did anything stupid like try to cram myself into small spaces. |

I don't get it. It almost veers into undiagnosed sexual fetish territory for me. They could choose to do anything in the world with their free time and disposable income, and they choose to wedge themselves into a crevice deep underground. Their hobby is a coal miners nightmare.

As I recall, the owner of the land has since filled the cave with cement with him still in there(family's blessing) so as to keep others from the same fate.

I would've given them permission to break my legs to pieces if it meant getting out of that place. Fortunately for me my head is so big from having such a huge brain that I would never be able to squeeze head first through a space as tight as that.

There's parts of that video that I refuse to visually watch. I've never been claustrophobic, but tight caving like that literally triggers me, like I can't for the life of me understand why someone would shimmy themselves through 9" passages that may not go anywhere.

This shit is pure fucking nightmare fuel. I went spelunking in JROTC in high school and I didn't like it even when things got a *little* tight and we were crawling around with our helmets. I didn't see anything enjoyable or fun. I have no idea why people would think this was a good idea.

Fortunately for me my head is so big from having such a huge brain that I would never be able to squeeze head first through a space as tight as that. I read extensively on this story. I think multiple sources determined that the easiest (maybe only) way to get him out would have been breaking his legs, but that he would not have survived that anyway. |

I DO feel I have acknowledge the guys who went in after him. Successful or not, they had the balls to try to pull it off. It has to be hell for them that they couldn't save him. |

Otherwise I wish to be fired out of a cannon, probably at the home or office of whatever awful D the idiots in my state have elected as governor. |

when i was in jr high and high school we did a lot of spelunking.
i was the thinnest in the group and always went into the unknown. i had zero sense of mortality back then i.e. dumbass teenager. I'm hoping being upside down he passed out before dying. i think the trauma of breaking his legs would have done him in as well. just send a tube in and start pumping nitrogen in next to my head. |

I'm not claustrophobic at all. When I was in my 20s and rail thin, I was the guy that would get lowered into draft fan housings to weld holes. There wasn't enough room to roll over and I was dropped in and pulled out by my ankles. That being said, I have no desire to crawl in caves like that. Risk/Reward doesn't add up for me. |

There are numerous caves in Northern middle Tennessee. A few of us used to go exploring in them as teens. We used to find Indian artifacts in some of the caves.
One cave in the Leonard community in Macon Co had a drop off that went straight down. We once brought in a 250' rope to possibly climb down into the verticle section. Before we did that, we tied a maglight to the end of the rope and started lowering it in. We never could see the bottom. We dropped a rock in and listened. We finally heard a splash. The guy that owned the land ended up sealing off the entrance years ago. |

alternate versions of this.. the guy that they found behind the walk in freezer at the local 7-11. apparently had climbed up to the top scooted over and fell down behind the freezer and got wedged between it and the wall.
then there are the cases of folks who for some unknown reason decide to try to go down a chimney in an abandoned house and they find the skeleton years later... loosing your orientation and sense of direction cave diving is also pretty bad. and finally the guys who wander out on the mud flats in alaska or where ever and sink up to their chest and wait for the tide to come in whilst their friends watch.... |

There was a kid that went missing in a nearby town. It was a big deal for a week or so. It's a big tourist destination and many houses are unoccupied during the winter, including one down the street from where the kid lived. They got keys from the owners and searched all of these unoccupied homes, turning up nothing. As the leads ran out and he still hadn't been seen or located, police started re-searching the summer homes and other buildings. During one of these searches, an officer noticed a plug from the chimney on the floor, along with a coat. A further search found the missing kid in the chimney. He apparently wanted to get in the house to skip school and looked down the chimney, which seemed to open into an open fireplace, but it was really a flue. They reasoned he squeezed down the chimney until he could go no further down and then shoved the coat out through the old stove hole to get it out of his way. The chimney was barely bigger than he was and he would have had to go down with his arms over his head. They said he likely died within hours from positional asphyxia. |

I wonder what it is in the human psyche that makes us so afraid of tight spaces. Heights, snakes, spiders I can understand. When in our evolution were we exposed to tight spaces? Did we live in caves that much?
