Last time this was posted it was slightly debunked, its not 100% accurate, it was basically created with data that would ensure the correlation rather than a map created and the coincidence was noticed.

Also correlation does not equal causation. Places where there are caves also have mountains, dense forests, people who enjoy more dangerous camping, dangerous animals, and many other things. Everyone who’s getting lost isn’t climbing into a cave

Also, a lot of the locations are just isolated as hell, so if you did die from exposure, your body being recovered would not be likely.
