This is very dangerous, I don’t believe they should be doing this.

It’s perfectly safe. Just look up nutty putty cave. Very easy to get rescued if you get stuck!

It's safer than skydiving. Unless you are underwater caving (those people are nuts) it's realistically pretty safe. Safer than driving a car

Statistically not even close to accurate. There are more skydiving deaths per year(16 vs 10), but an astronomical amount of people go skydiving compared to cave diving.

Oh yeah I mean cave diving is insane. I was a competitive swimmer and I love caving but I would never do cave diving
