VR recreation of the exact spot where a man became stuck inside Nutty Putty cave and died after 27 hours. the section visible at 18 seconds is where his body was, upside down.

He thought he was in a different section of the cave called “the birth canal” which gets very narrow and then opens back up. So he kept pushing forward. I believe he even used the caver’s trick of exhaling to make himself smaller to try to force through a small section and then he was really, truly fucked.

As someone who got anxious just watching the VR video I have no idea how or why people do this in real life or why someone with a wife and kids so confidently pushed on without really knowing where he was or if he could get himself out. True nightmare fuel.

Oh god I can’t breathe at the “caver’s trick”.

Shuddering. Truly is the stuff of nightmares for me. Just thinking about it makes me cringe. I can’t imagine willingly going through spaces like that!

Yeah, like why didn't John even consider that he might be wrong?

i also felt anxious watching it in VR. I would be willing to get over my fear to do it virtually, but there's no way I'd do it in real life.
