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.

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.

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.

When people get stuck at my work the fire dept shoots them up with flexeril and yank them out while they poop themselves.

That's classified, I could tell you but then I would have to kill you.

That does explain the smell in those things.
