Close, its related to the nutty putty cave rescue in which John Jones fell head first into a hole while cave crawling, got stuck, and couldn't be rescued and died stuck upside down
First time I heard about it a few years ago I couldn't stop thinking about it for like a week. It was his fault, he used very bad judgement, but nobody deserves to die in such a horrible way.
I think about his two kids and wife as well, since I have a family of my own. Poor wife also endures online harassment apparently, since she remarried. So cruel.
There wasn't enough room to pull him out, even with pulleys. IIRC, he died within about 36 hours so there wasn't enough time to drill him out or something like that.
Assuming a lack of preexisting issues (which I feel safe assuming because a spelunker is probably either suicidal or fairly healthy), what would cause one to die in 36 hours? I recently referenced this in another comment, but I learned that one can survive three minutes without oxygen, three days without water, or three weeks without food. 36 hours doesn't align with any of that.
Cavers weird me out man. Its one thing to explore a cave you can walk around in, but like why go through passage that's barely big enough to fit through on your stomach?
He went the wrong way thinking it was a mapped area that involved a narrow passageway to a larger space. So you can go with confidence knowing there's an out.
Trouble is, he falsely identified and went down the wrong passageway, and moreover slid too far in.

If it's any consolation, they managed to get an IV in his leg and got him some anxiety and pain meds to make it a little easier.

If they got to him before he died, why couldn't they pull him out?
chunes@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 49d
This was his situation.
There wasn't enough room to pull him out, even with pulleys. IIRC, he died within about 36 hours so there wasn't enough time to drill him out or something like that.

No only that but he was way too big to be navigating those passages in the first place. Just a lot of bone headed decisions made by that guy.

I think it's that guy that climbed into a cave in a space that he could not be extracted from.

Are we asking the wrong questions here? Should we ask instead why the bishop is shaped like a butt plug?
