Why do people navigate perilous caves for fun?

She is aware of the potential dangers: "Fear is part of it but being part of that team kind of distributes the fear amongst you all."Thomas said cavers leave musical manuscripts for each other to find at one cave in Abergavenny

He said the physical exertion was rewarded by the sights underground: "It's oddly beautiful, there's what we like to call 'pretties' in a cave, different rock formations, a cave itself is just gorgeous, carved by water, you see some really unique stuff down there." Jemma Stephens, 21, is the president of Cardiff University Caving Club and was also in the cave system when the incident happened."It was really weird because I knew all of them, they're all ex-Cardiff, so it was a really strange reunion," she said.Robert Watson, a training officer of the Council of Higher Education Caving Clubs, said cavers always depended on each other in times of crisis.

"We explore places that not a lot of people get to see. What we are able to see is really special, it's an exciting activity and also a good workout."Jemma is also in awe of the scenery: "[There's] cave glitter, as one of my first year students calls it - the sparkly stuff in the ceiling which is always really, really pretty and there's indoor waterfalls."

Boris-free zone?

Incredibly selfish and stupid People who are wired all wrong. 🤣

The same reason people race motorbikes around the Isle of Man TT at 200+ mph, adrenalin.

Humans have been crawling in and out of caves since the Neanderthals . It breeds confidence, enhances the senses,forms super safety minded teams and leaders. Trust , respect,and there are probably more cyclists killed in one day than have lost their lives in caves ever

Because they're idiots?

Miss it, loved it

People like fun.

Back to the womb.

Err , because they enjoy and like to explore them ! It's their hobby/intrest.

As a claustrophobe, I can think of no worse terror.

Why it’s so hard to electrify shipping and aviationReducing emissions for cargo ships and planes isn’t as simple as sticking a huge battery in them Because we haven't invented power crystals yet This is bullshit anti green energy bullshit. You don’t need to match the energy per fill you just need to give cargo ships the ability to replenish the cells through solar, wind and hydro methods as it moves. You also need to consider what harm the 'noise' from the electrified ships may cause to the sonars of whales and fish as the vibrations travel through the water. This has not yet been adequately studied and might be an even bigger problem to our planet.
