John Jones - Caver Dies While Exploring Cave with Family in Utah

[rewjik]

many people say claustrophobia is a disorder, i say its a survival instinct.

[mueezadam]

_“His voice became nasally”_

They could literally hear him dying... rest in peace, John Jones.

- 27 hours
- Pitch black darkness
- Upside down
- Unable to move
The recipe for an excruciating death

[geno]

genuinely one of the most terrifying scenarios i could think of. rest in peace john

[assistanttotheregionalmana]

It took him 27 hours to die in that position. Absolutely terrifying.

[TOPNOTCHIDIOTS]

The question is why would you even go in that hole

[ryanfever]

It gives me chills to think that he still sits there, in the pitch black, in his full cave exploring gear, he literally crawled into his own grave

“The Nutty Putty cave was closed, and the entrance sealed with cement, WITH JOHN’S BODY STILL INSIDE.”
Full body shiver

How to not get stuck in a cave?

Step 1: *Don't go*

[YTSunnys]

I felt very uncomfortable watching this.

[spaghettiman]

I just shiver at the fact that his body is still in the cave. Makes you realize that sometimes, even rescue services can fail.

5:31 If you’re ever feeling down after making a bad decision just remember this guy compressed his lungs, stomach, his body so he can squeeze into a very narrow space not because he was running away from danger or rescuing a kitten, or that there was a pot of gold on the other side, but because he just wanted to. He was also a doctor.

This is beyond worst nightmare type situation

[Aethermore]

I’m so excited to spend the rest of my life not cave exploring

[coconow]

Knowing that his body is still in that cave really disturbs me

[xrecon]

They closed the entrance with John’s body still inside... that has to be by far the scariest thing I’ve heard in real life incidents.. the story of trying to free him was so sad too... I feel so sorry for his family... they must be still grieving his death

[joansbbqandfootmassage]

I can’t imagine how panicked he felt when he realized he couldn’t get out

[heatherhillman]

Dude's body was left in the cave, not unlike the dead on Mount Everest. If they have to leave your body behind, you probably shouldn't be there in the first place.

Bro I’m not ashamed to admit that as a grown man, 22, I’m still afraid of the dark, claustrophobic, and scared of how I die. It boggles my mind that this is a way someone lost his life.

Medical student. A medical student died like this. I dropped out of school and I’m smart enough to not go places I shouldn’t.
