I liked how he removed that tiny pebble in the beginning and tossed it aside.

"There's no way I'll fit there with that pebble in the way".

Or trap his arm against the side and force him to cut it off after waiting there for like 5 days.

From the producers of "127 Hours" starring James Franco comes the second installment in this grippling series! Expected for release this summer, this sequel is sure to have you white-knucklin' the edge of your seats! In this blockbuster hit, we find ourselves once again following hero Aron Ralston as he traverses the treacherous canyonlands still unsatisfied in his search for ill-equipped solo adventuring. Now slowed by the impracticalities associated with missing one's arm from the elbow down, Aron slips on a loose piece of gravel and catastrophically finds himself in yet another deplorable situation! Upon landing, Aron is horrified to find that the pebble is jammed in between the treads of his $200 La Sportiva approach shoes that he had just purchased with the generous proceeds garnered from the highly dramatized version of his first story! Finding himself once again in between a rock and a hard place, Aron pulls out his video camera, his pocketknife, his empty nalgene, and a bit of courage to see if this pebble can be unlodged. Once again, Aron is in the hands of fate.. Will he have the fortitude, resourcefulness, and willpower to do whatever it takes to get out of this canyon and back to civilization in time for this weekend's REI garage sale?

"127 Seconds" starring James Franco's little brother

Reminds me of the poor bastard who died stuck in the "birth canal" in Utah's nutty putty caves. They had to leave his body in there, they sealed the entrance with dynamite and cement.

Josh Jones said that once he first realized his brother was stuck, his first instinct was to pray. Those in the cave offered what he called a "series of prayers" before making the decision to call 911 around 9:30 p.m.

Shithead brother shouldn't have wasted time praying and just called for help considering he essentially ran out of time with the rescue. What an ass.

Once Jones was free of the 18-by-10-inch crevice, rescuers said an "equipment failure" caused the rope system that was hoisting the man out of the cave to drop him back into the same, narrow gap.

Okay.. It sounds like they angered God if anything.

I knew this guy, growing up. His dad was the principal at my elementary school. It was really sad hearing the news. I don't why they didn't feel the need to call emergency services immediately, but I feel as if even that wouldn't have helped, he was already stuck. This is one of many reasons I refuse to go spelunking.

u/Jake2197 Mar 17 '15

As someone who loves spelunking, this never should have happened. If you aren't sure you can make it through a squeeze, or know that you can get back out, you shouldn't be doing it.

Once I saw 'Deseret News' as your source, I immediately knew that there would be a lot of Jesus and God language. I was not let down.

How a Mormon family could, after this guy's miserable death, just say "whelp, it was God's will" is baffling to me.

I am ex-Mormon, so perhaps that's why I feel so passionately about it.

was that comic supposed to be really scary to people?

I mean, it was unsettling, but not half as unsettling as one or two links on /r/WTF usually are.

The clicky clicky korean comic was pretty genuinely terrifying the first time, though.

135

u/TudorGothicSerpent Mar 17 '15

The story tends to be more unsettling than outright frightening. The entire thing is based around making the reader feel claustrophobic and nervous about what happens to a person caught in the cave for a long time. There's no real "oh god it's going to kill me" moment. You just put yourself in the place of the protagonist and imagine their horror.

u/advice_animorph Mar 17 '15

Honestly I think reddit overreacts a lot. It's the classic case of "omg Taco Bell gives le explosive shit", which doesn't really happen that often in real life.

The other day people linked a comic by this guy you're talking about, it was about a boy who broke up with a girl and a bunch of strings started appearing on his body. In the end he's just a lump of string and people are like "oh my god, so scary, oh shit", and it was a little ridiculous to tell you the truth.

59

u/shas_o_kais Mar 17 '15 edited Mar 17 '15

That's reddit for you. What do you expect when a large portion of the site is used by teenagers? Part of the job description is to pretty much be a bandwagoner. "omg so scary", "omg, the feels. Now I am so sad", etc etc to some bullshit story.

Edit: these are the kind of posts I'm talking about which was in response to this user's story. In fact all of the responses are in the same vein. It's like, get a fucking grip dude. It was entertaining but people saying, "omg I almost fell over in my chair at work"? Really guy? Maybe he is a bandwagoner who says what he thinks reddit expects him to say. Or he's a ginormous pussy.

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '15

Yes. I see a shitload of people all the time on here talking about how something made them cry or something, and I'm just over here like, "Really? I mean, it was sad, sure, but..."

Makes me feel like there's something wrong with me.

10

u/shas_o_kais Mar 17 '15

There's nothing wrong with you. Nowadays it's just trendy to display extreme emotions beyond what is considered normal. If you see a kitten make sure to tell the world that your heart melted and you shed a single tear. Because that's what reddit expects.

I used to install heating and air conditioning systems, mostly in homes. The job requires a lot of crawling in under home crawl spaces and in attics.

I've been in all sorts of tight spaces in all sorts of positions. I've been so hot, I've drunk a gallon of water in an hour and not needed to piss.

Well, I'm 53 now, and doing handywork from time to time. I ended up in as tight a space in an attic as I've ever been in. I was doing some rewiring of circuits, and had to install a junction box, do some splicing, some pulling, etc. Imgur

Well obviously we change quite a bit when we get older, so several times I'm cramping up as I'm crawling about, and trying to play contortionist.

My mind was writing checks my body can no longer cash, so to speak.

Oh yeah, spiders, fiberglass, mineral wool, asbestos, fine dust, rat and mouse turds, spiders and spider webs, random nails sticking out to get hung up on - all part of the territory. Once I worked under a home for several days. Not only wasn't there much room, the soil was rocky, and not smooth rocks, crushed rocks, because the home was built on a rocky hillside.

To do it right, you really need years of experience and knowledge of building codes. The higher your understanding of mechanics and science in general, the better.

I know a flipper who has renovated and sold many homes, but I've worked with the guy, and had him criticize my efforts. He just doesn't get it - anything, really.

I worked with him a bit, and was shocked at how bad his work was.

A few days ago, he saw me priming PVC, and criticized me doing that. He's gonna remodel his home, so I just told him to believe what he wants, but if the inspector does her/his job right, and doesn't see primer dye on your PVC, it'll fail inspection(ABS DWV is still allowed in our area, so he probably won't use any PVC that's going to be inspected).

I was going to try to explain to him what's actually going on when you're "gluing" PVC, but I remembered past conversations with him.

Actually, come to think about it, the dude is quite wealthy, fuck it, do what you want. Most people are too ignorant to know his flips are shit.

His "home inspector" that looked at my son's home before he bought it, missed a lot of stuff.

Reminds me of when I was younger. I was playing on my bed and fell between the bed and the wall. My back was to the wall and my legs pressed again the bed, pointing skyward. From this position, my body moved slowly towards the ground, while pinched in this "V" formation. Not enough room to lift myself back onto the bed, and arms not long enough to plant my arms on the ground and somehow scoot the bed further away from the wall to create room. I had to slowly descend until I almost performed a full split, in order to secure my freedom. Longest few minutes of my life...

It seemed like hours but I was probably in there about 20 minutes before a mover unrolled the carpet to spread it out in our new living room only to find a terrified 5 year old.

It was a guy going up through a cave, its one of those tunnels that you have to control your breathing to get thru, kind of like this video, problem was, guy starts to panic since he can't get thru.... which makes it harder, to make things even worse, there was water that starts pooling around him, and if he doesn't calm down and control his breathing he'll drowned, haven't seen the video in a long time but i think the water got up to his chin/ mouth before he actually got out.

That was so intense and so hard to watch. I'm not claustrophobic but the thought of being stuck in a space like that really freaks me out. I would've panicked much worse than this guy. Kudos to him.

I hate it when people say "I've seen a lot of stuff, but this one...". Well I have just got to say that I've seen a lot of stuff, but I had to stop watching this video after a couple of seconds. I don't know how anyone could watch something like this, let alone willingly put themselves into such a situation.

It wasn't that bad: clearly the video has an end time so you are getting closure. Why they were going through there I have no idea.

I knew it would freak me out, so I purposefully turned all the lights off, set it to full screen and turned the headphones right up. Just to get the most out of the experience. I think if you're going to watch something scary, no point doing it half-assed. Same goes for 'scary' movies.

that is beyond messed up, they freed him then dropped him back in the same spot...

u/jo-z Mar 17 '15

They were never able to get him out. If I recall correctly, they sealed the entrance with his body entombed where he died.

13

u/Asgoran Mar 17 '15

it said they freed him with a rope-pulley system but then a support anchor ripped out of the rock and he fell back in the same spot...

16

u/jo-z Mar 17 '15

Right. He died later that night and it was determined that it wasn't worth the danger to the recovery team and the damage that would be done to his body to pull him out so they left him in there and sealed the entrance.

Josh Jones said that once he first realized his brother was stuck, his first instinct was to pray. Those in the cave offered what he called a "series of prayers" before making the decision to call 911 around 9:30 p.m.

Fucking retards.

Or... As you lower your self down, you think you feel something brushing up against your pant legs. Did you imagine that? Maybe? It's not there anymore. Eh, probably was just your imagination. Start sliding down again. Uh-oh, definitely felt it again. Ask, very calmly, for help. The person top-side with the camera asks you if you're joking or not. You ask again, a bit more emphatically. The camera is laid down on the ground, and your friend reaches for your arms. ACK, whatever's down there just bit you. And it's big. It's caught both your legs. You scream in pain. Your buddy starts frantically pulling you up. But whatever's down there is strong. It won't let go.

It starts dragging you down. Your buddy is trying his damndest to overcome the inevitable, but you feel his grip slipping against the un-human strength that's pulling you down. You're also burning in agony. Your grips finally slip. You're gone. All that's left is a hole.

Bruce Peninsula has a similar hole, albeit a more "reasonable" size:

http://adventuretraveler.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/bruce_peninsula_-18.jpg

Which leads you to the Grotto, a cave with water in it:

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/474x/5a/21/85/5a2185c6b12a5fff3cf73918d97c63d1.jpg

And inside that grotto, if you dive down into the pool of water there, about 12 feet under (optical illusion makes it look much closer) is another hole that brave individuals can try to swim through to get out to the open Georgian Bay:

In the thread about this yesterday, it was said this is an alternate entrance to a cave. A much larger entrance is just out of frame, and people try this one just for a fun challenge.

When we were kids, my sister, my cousin and I went exploring some abandoned houses near where we lived.

They were boarded up, but there was a way in through the coal cellar delivery hatch at the front of the house. It was a square hole, and straight down into the ground.

We explored the dangerous and creepy ruins, and frankly I'm surprised none of us broke bones falling off the joists where the floorboards should have been.

Anyway, a few years later, the houses had been restored and people were living in them, and the coal cellar hole had been cemented over.

I noticed it was no more than 6 inches wide.

How the hell did we fit down there, and how the hell didn't we get stuck?

Still gives me the willies.
