I would be ALL for allowing people to do anything they want, as long as they realize they are completely ON THEIR OWN when it comes to making a stupid mistake resulting from abnormally risky behavior. This would be in keeping with the taxpayers NOT being responsible for accidents that result from stupidity or just activities which are considered very high risk. There should be a sign at the entrances saying "Enter at your own risk as if you run into trouble you are on your own". I find it hard to believe that would encourage those folks who like such activity to continue in certain spots where it is absurd to try.

LOL,
A cave explorer said he knows a back door to the cave and was going to go back there in about year and bring a shop vac to clean up the area the poor guy is stuck in, I think they call it the "Birth Canal" in but thinks the body will fall through after decomp into the "putty"

Sounds *gruesome*, but in the end, it may the best thing that can be done later, to *bring closure* to a very sad situation.

WHEN, they do it, and IF they do it with respect, which I think a *true spelunker* will do, then it is OK with me.
If I was the parent of that young man, I would be very grateful to that spelunker.

Like so many *hobbies* people have, they all have a certain *code* they live by.
All you have to do, is ask *The spelunker* (not anybody else), *What if you were there*.
Even if you do not know another *spelunker*, you feel some kind of *bond* with him/her.
I am NOT a spelunker, but I can put myself in their place.
