Spelunker shimmies body into 'nightmare' tiny cave opening as viewers cringe in terror

dailystar.co.uk:

TikTok user, known as @stickfigureboy99, gained 2.6 million views on his first video after he inhaled as far as he could to fit into a hole in the ground that was so small even those who don't suffer from claustrophobia were squirming.

The bloke then pops his head back up to smile at the camera before disappearing into the cave but 38.2k viewers had already flocked to the comments to express the anxiety they felt on his behalf.

One user said: "I got stressed just watching this."Another added: "My claustrophobia is claustrophobic watching this video."A third wrote: "I'd be afraid to get stuck."The video was captioned with a warning that reads "Do not attempt: done in the company of cave rescue class professional cavers" but it still wasn't enough to ease anyone's mind.The video was later shared to Twitter by a dad named Nick Owen who wrote: "If I’m ever feeling like my anxiety needs a little boost, I watch a few caving videos.

You could not pay me enough to do this shit."Former 'caver', Andrew Flood retweeted explaining: "I used to do caving when I was a mere slip of a lad and I remember one entry pretty much like this except the entrance was also covered in brambles when we arrived. ‘We are going where now?’"As to ‘why’ in Ireland at that time there were very few cavers & as a result a lot of unspoilt formations that almost no one had ever seen (in public caves they tend to get dust dirty quickly & the lighting means algae turns them green).
