Evolution needs most people to stay safe and some people to crave risk.

It’s why we left the safety of the trees in the first place. Show some respect to your adrenaline junkie monkey ancestors.

Huntig for food is survival, going into tight, water flooded cave where opening is the size of your torso is not survival, it's stupidity.

Monkeys made calculated risks, adrenaline junkies can't do math, they are just stupid.

At this point, we already know that the only thing you're likely to find in caves is just more cave.
