Cave explorers have to rely on insane leap of faith to cover massive chasm below

Cave explorers have to rely on insane leap of faith to cover massive chasm below

No thanks, I choose life

I don't know about you, dear reader, but I'm perfectly happy spending my life not exploring any caves or crawling down holes I'm not completely sure I can get back out of.

If that's your thing then all respect to you for doing it and having your fun that way - but it's not for me.

Perhaps it's got something to do with the interest you lot have in people who went exploring in caves and either had near-misses or just never even came out alive again.

Ending up like the guy who spent days trapped in a cave before he died down there or getting stuck in a passage that's too tight to shimmy though sounds terrifying.

However, even if it's something I wouldn't ever want to do myself, it's nice that there's a bunch of folks on YouTube who do this sort of thing and film the results so you can get the experience of exploring a cave without having to leave the house.

That's what channels like Action Adventure Twins are for.

They go into the caves and show you what it's like so you don't have to, and some of the stuff they show you makes you really glad you don't have to.

On one of their latest ventures they arrived at a cave at 11pm and delved down into the darkness, finding significant drops that were 'mad sketch' as they jumped across gaps to explore further inside.

"This is freaking wild," one of the cave explorers opined after taking what they thought was a wrong turn and look down at the drop beneath them.

Having realised he'd jumped over a chasm and would now struggle to get back out again as the chunk of cave he'd jumped from sloped downwards, basically meaning he could jump off it from one side but would struggle to land safely on the return journey.

Demonstrating why you should never do this sort of thing by yourself, his partner cooked up an ingenious solution to rescue his stricken companion.

He clambered back up the slope while leaving his legs dangling out where they could be grabbed on to save his partner from slipping back down.

Fortunately, the plan worked perfectly and they were able to get back across with a bit of help from the outstretched leg.

It might not be an orthodox technique among cave explorers but if it works, then it works.

In a previous exploration from Action Adventure Twins, they explored a creepy looking mine and heard some rather spooky things.

Rather you than me.
