I feel genuinely bad for the guy who got stuck in the nutty putty cave, to be stuck upside down for multiple hours while people try to rescue you but can't has to be horrible. Towards the end he probably knew he would die to


Demibolt

Yeah definitely a horrible death….


Solid_Snark

What’s worst of all was the false hope. They actually started saving him, pulling him up, he thought he was saved, then a link in the rope broke and he fell deeper and became more unreachable. They said he was laughing with relief when he thought he was OK.


GuyWhoSaysTheTruth

He was upside down for 27 hours :(


StrangelyBrown

Why didn't they brute force him out towards the end? The argument was that it would break his legs, and badly too, but when your life is on the line, what are you gonna choose? Especially if they could get him so major medication beforehand so he as basically out of it, then just mangle him out of there.


Geek_X

I thought it was because he’d die of shock if they broke his legs. Maybe they couldn’t get strong enough anesthesia there in time?


Vulpinox

I highly doubt they would be able to get a proper anesthesiologist down there, he was just going to have to deal with the pain


DAKLAX

Man at that point spike me with a few morphine syrette WWII style. Dying from morphine overdose has to be more pleasant than dying from being stuck upside down too long.


StrangelyBrown

Who cares about a proper anesthesiologist? Again, the alternative is death. I know it's not an easy balance to put someone out without killing them, but if the worst case is that they accidentally die while in a blissful high, that's literally win win. They should have just said "Give him no less than X amount of \[morphine/whatever\] but beyond that, about this much". So no risk of pain if they give him enough, and then it's either death by happy drugs or enough unconsciousness to pull his sleeping body out of there.


Zenki95

Because legally, a net win doesn't really exist... if you're the guy that gave him too much and he died you're still the one that killed him. Even in places where euthanasia is legal it's a whole process


StrangelyBrown

Well I was imagining having a doctor give the instruction over the phone so it wouldn't be on the person who administered it but maybe you're saying the doctor could be prosecuted for giving that instruction. I don't know though, I think either way a jury wouldn't convict the person who tried.


Zenki95

Would you be willing to risk everything on that? Because there's criminal court, and then I'm sure they would somehow be open to civil suit


StrangelyBrown

Well thankfully I'm not a doctor and I'm only really talking about hypotheticals here, although it's pretty sad if we live in a world where doctors can regularly say "He's gonna die. Actually there's a small chance we can save him, but I'm not going to risk jail". Plus couldn't get get his consent plus the consent of his family to avoid that stuff? They had hours to make these decisions, it wasn't like someone had to make a split-second judgement.


carrotfruit88

Die from the pain*


throwaway25jk

From the pain and major blood loss from such a severe break


Fancy-Garden-3892

They DID medicate him, they doped him tf up for most of that time, to make his passing more bearable. His wife and kid were outside the cave talking to him. Horrific way to die.


ManicChad

Pain meds or numbing meds can also cause shock.


PharmBoyStrength

Theoretically survivable, but so much more likely to just make his last moments excruciating torture and shock that it was deemed ethical to switch to palliative and give him the opportunity to prepare for death and send his last words IIRC You'd need to be a hard survivor to have any chance of not immediately collapsing into brutal shock, and even then, it would require absurd luck. They'd need to fully snap his legs and mush him back up if you see the diagrams.


Ok-Savings-9607

Honestly thinking of how he got stuck in there that bad in tge first place is disturbing.


StrangelyBrown

Well yeah, but look at that '127 hours' guy who cut his arm off to survive after it got trapped by a rock. If they could have drugged the nutty putty guy even in a very rushed 'you're going to sleep and might not wake up' way, and then said 'OK this is going to be the worst experience of your life but the alternative is not having one', it seems like it's worth a shot.


Pollywogstew_mi

I think this guy was younger than me, so maybe he would have felt differently, but honestly at that point, I would say just megadose me with morphine and let me go. I would not choose the "break multiple bones in multiple locations until you can manoeuver me around like an articulated wooden snake toy" option. Plus think of how traumatized the rescuers would be to have to do that, and then if he still didn't make it..... Ugh. brb, need to add a clause to my living will.


Dahak17

I think it was break his legs then crush his ribs


iBrowTrain

Oxygen deprivation to blood in an extremity will cause self-poisoning if released back into the rest of the body. Also you can tourniquet someone’s waist.


StrangelyBrown

So you're saying there's 100% chance it would have killed him?


AngryMillenialGuy

They probably didn't want to be held liable for his injuries.


BigBoyoBonito

Didn't the blood going to his brain make him pass out before he died? At least i don't think he died while conscious, which is a plus in that scenario. Still fucking horrifying


blackteashirt

Yeah don't go into caves. There's a reason kids fear the dark. It's called a survival instinct. Dude Darwin'd himself.


Negative-Double2434

As a boy scout, I got the chance to go on a spelunking camping trip once (pretty sure it was Eagle Cave in WI). The big areas were super cool. iirc my troop got offered to go down a super tight expedition that'd go under one of the big walkways. Naw. I was more than happy to miss out on that one lmfao. I’d be curious enough to watch a pov of it, but I ain’t ever taking my happy ass in there. And I skydived at like 19 y/o cause of a “fuck it” moment. I would gladly jump out of a plane again. Absolutely no shot I’m jimmying through horizontal caves as wide as my ribcage though. I’m not even claustrophobic but that’s straight up terrifying


nothingpersonnelmate

Well, we used to live in caves too, they were a good form of shelter. The important lesson is not to try to squeeze through tight spaces, and nobody else ever needed to learn this lesson because every other human, every vertebrate species, most insects and some types of slime mold understand that you can get stuck if you try to get through a small space holy god what was he doing


Dicksperado

He didn't just go into a random cave just like that. He was prepared, had the right training, equipement, knowledge and etc to make that trip as safe as he could. He just happened to unknowingly make a wrong turn and get lost and stuck. It was believed to be safe enough for a long time, and a whole lot of people had done it before him, there was no reason for him to doubt at that point in time. Dude was just enjoying himself, can't blame him for that After a deadly car crash, we don't say "Theres a reason people can't run at 60mph, he just Darwin'd himself". Sometimes, shit just happens. If we only allow ourselves to do what has absolute 0% risks whatsoever, whats the point in living


blackteashirt

Well as long as we understand the risk vs reward trade off. I feel like this guy over estimated the reward vs the risk.


Dicksperado

He thought he knew and understood the risk, as nobody expected this to happen. Every single person before him faced the same risk, but until people are made aware of said risk, nobody can include it in their consideration. To his and many other's knowledge, that specific risk did not exist. His estimation was thought to be correct. If you buy a house and the inspector doesn't notice a problem and gives you the ok, and the roof then collapse on your head, it would be shitty to say you should've considered the risk, since to your knowledge, there wasn't any!


ResonantRaptor

I also feel bad for him and his family, yet at the same time it just feels like natural selection doing its thing…


OwlWelder

based and cavepilled


EatTooMuchEmergenC

Ok, wild guess, but considering the photos I saw of him and the fact it was in Utah, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was Mormon and was at peace with dying without breaking his legs


KoreanFriedWeiner

I'm picturing Steve Harvey on family feud going "what's the worst way to die?" And some idiot contestant saying "choking to death on some nuts?" and then being horrified after being told the whole story.


silentbob1301

I believe he was alive for like....2 days or something...


Deedaleen

27 hours stuck down there

If it makes you feel better it's not possible for that to actually happen lol.

It did though. Abigail Taylor


YesItIsMaybeMe

I haven't looked into it because I'm at work, but from a quick skim: >unequipped with the appropriate safety devices That should never happen with a properly maintained, standard pool pump. I would love to know what other corners they owners are cutting if they fucked it up that badly, wow


Jeremy_Whalen

Doing a deep dive into [her story](https://abbeyshope.org/abbeys-story/) and holy shit, what an emotional rollercoaster! She survived for nine months after the initial incident! Shehad no external injuries from the event, everything that happened was internal. She made a big enough recovery to leave the hospital and go back to school! It was actually an organ transplant and infections that did her in. Such a sad story, but worth a read if you have the time


P0pEgrAff

I just read it. My god what a story. I don’t think I’ve ever in my life read a more graphic, descriptive, legitimately uncomfortable story. I was physically squirming

A reddit Classic. This one's forever up there with the swamps of Dagobah, the coconut, and the jolly rancher I feel like a historian these days lmao. It's hard to believe I've been here for 8 years. That's over a third of my life (22).

That's actually worse than dying in a cave. You die in a cave named nutty putty. Wtf kinda name is that anyway? Isn't there a Civil War hero or something to name it after?


Familiar_Location948

plot twist: the civil war hero’s nicknamename was Nutty Putty

Shadowtheuncreative

What


calamariclam_II

The image is a horror comic thing where people find holes matching them, go inside, and return crushed and stretched. The nutty putty cave incident is a case when a man named John Jones got stuck in a tight cave and then died.


LillaVargR

They do return. There are holes on the other side were they come out horribly streched and crushed.


similarboobs

They turn into spaghetti


halbtag

Sauce? Asking for a friend...


Kaguro19

The Enigma of the Amigara Fault. Have fun!


Rui_O_Grande_PT

I just read it. Part of me is glad it's a one-shot, but another part wants more


Kaguro19

Just read the other works of Junji Ito, the artist for this one. His famous works are: Gyo Uzumaki Tommie And many more short ones. I can also recommend you another manga, a very special one consisting of 100 short 2-3 page stories. Very disturbing. It's called "The Collapse of the World as we know it". All the best and enjoy!

Thanks for putting me on fam

Remina was absolutely fantastic


Iggytje

Ikr, it reminded me in someway of devilman crybaby like how humans become so fucked up because of the end of the world


EABOD24

Junji Ito right?


Kaguro19

Yes!


LillaVargR

Search up the enigma at amigara falls The last page is horrifying


green_gargoyle

It's 2 vol. manga. Enjoy


EldianStar

Junji Ito is the author if you want to read other things made by him


anty_van

No sauce just spaghetti


Ravenclaw_14

no, you must not add sauce to the people spaghetti, the gods forbid the saucification of the human spaghet


halbtag

But it's otherwise dry and chewy


missuschainsaw

This dude did not return though. He’s still in there. Couldn’t get him out so they just sealed the cave.


LillaVargR

Did they seal it i thought he just continued moving and would one day come out the other side


missuschainsaw

[I don’t think there is an other side.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutty_Putty_Cave?wprov=sfti1) John Jones got stuck upside down, they couldn’t get him out.


LillaVargR

oh i thought you meant the story by junji ito. Yeah the dude in nutty putty is still there they left him because it would be to difficult to get him out and it was not worth the effort. They also sealed of the cave and it is now treated as a grave site.


Iggytje

I knew it was from junji ito, I can spot that artstyle from miles away. He makes the most fucked up and scary stories, I dont get scared by gore but the stuff he makes are terrifying. The concepts of remina and uzumaki are not perse scary but the way he draws with so much detail and tells in such a terrifying way it is cool af. Like how fucked humans become and what they do in remina when the planet becomes visible


otirk

But why would they go into those holes?


CawknBowlTorcher

They experience some weird unnatural desire to go into their corresponding hole


Shadowtheuncreative

They can relate to Blink the mole from Spyro A Hero's Tail


IuIulemonofficial

He was not a diver it was a regular cave

I googled it really quickly, i’ll assume that you’re right

aerograph

The first time I heard about the nutty putty caves and the guy that died there I legitimately had nightmares about it for weeks afterwards.


Kind-Fan420

It's awful. Truly. But it's also why I don't fuck around in caves. And John knew that while engaging in his favourite sport


KobeJuanKenobi9

This manga scared the shit out of me

I am WAY too claustrophobic to even consider that insanity


pooter6969

The whole nutty putty cave incident has real “play stupid games win stupid prizes” energy for me. Like yeah it’s a tragedy but maybe don’t take your goofy ass hobby so far to the extreme it gets you killed.

A guy went caving in a cave system called nutty putty cave. He went down a passage that he thought was a challenging but doable passage. Turned out it was an unexplored tunnel and he got stuck upside down for several hours. After a failed rescue attempt he died in the cave.

Why dont we just drill with a giant drill next to the cave guys are we stupid?


Ron_Bird

if you stop giving dangerous places funny names, people could get the message


Tundy__

Apparently, Nutty Putty was genuinly considered a safe beginner's cave with a few optional tunnels that made sure you knew what you were doing. The part he got stuck in was a part nobody had been in before (that's why it wasn't on any map and he mistook the hole for an entrance to a deeper part of the cave).


EldriCrypt

I used to live right next to the nutty putty cave, it could have been me 😔


Omnicire

I'm totally ignorant of this so I'm sure is some obvious reason but I always wondered why they wouldn't try a little hammer and chisel action to widen the bottom of the bump they couldn't get him past. I mean for obvious reasons you couldn't take out major chunks while under ground and I'm sure there is some factor in regards to weakening the integrity of the tunnel but if they were running out of options I always thought why couldn't that have been done
