    Bravo to the quick response.

    Being upside down for too long could have turned out baaaad. Reminded me of that kid who got stuck in those Nutty Putty caves.

      Gosh the Nutty Putty Caves thing is awful and breaks my heart every time seeing the diagram of how the kid was trapped and couldn’t be rescued.

      Good reminder to always prep your children for safety in all their endeavors.

        Are you thinking of a different cave? The only Nutty Putty death I’m familiar with is that 26 year old caver who got stuck upside down and died. Like it’s definitely horrific and sad but he wasn’t a kid and should have known there was significant risk involved.

          That’s the same one I’m thinking of, where his death led to the caves being shutdown for good. I guess he’s older than I remembered. I consider people close to 20 still a kid, but 26 is much more of an adult to me. Thanks for the info!
