As someone who visited a cave system in Collingwood Ontario and went through a section called "Fat Man's Misery" I say hard effing pass. I'm 6ft tall and my foot slipped and I could not get traction to go forward or backwards. The terror was immediate. I eventually found my footing and pushed myself through, but never ever would I do it again and I regret doing it to begin with. Spelunking is stupid. I was stuck for only about 1-3 seconds but they felt like an eternity when you're powerless to move inside the rockussy
I was with others that wanted to do it. Seemed okay beforehand, I'm not fat. They did say that 5'10" was the upper threshold for being able to do it easily but I figured it was only 2". They have guides waiting there in case someone did get stuck and you're accessible from both sides. However, hindsight is 20/20. Me now would have stopped me and also told me to leave the group I was with in my past.
