I am getting anxious just thinking about that. Big nope for me. But awesome that you did it, I just don't want to conquer that fear.

  A whole lot of nope from me, too. Between what happened to John Jones in Nutty Putty Cave, the (urban legend?) of Masha in the catacombs, horror movies like "The Descent", or even just events like the Surfside condo collapse, I can't do dark underground caves or structures that might collapse. When my friends went spelunking and invited me to go, I told them I'd take a rain check. Maybe the risks are negligible, but every one of my alarm bells goes off.

    Same it really really freaks me out reading about this stuff. Instant panic attacks. I guess I’m claustrophobic? The closest freaky / claustrophobic experience I remember was during a hike upon entering into a train tunnel…for some reason…it was pitch black dark. Once we were probably half way in I realised how insanely idiotic we were for going in. Then I realised the tunnel was really much longer than we anticipated, the light at the end became tiny. There was probably manholes in the side we could jump into if needs be but it was hard to see. Two things were going through our minds, do we hide in man holes and go slowly, or run? We ran ! Of course my friend hurt his ankle So I was hobbling out of there with him over my shoulder. I never remember how relived I was we made it out. Not long after, a train came around the corner quite fast, would’ve been a horrible tragedy. Bring in that tunnel when a huge freight train was in there wouldn’t have been very enjoyable to say the least.
