    Caving is fine as long as you stick to places you can walk to and stand in. As soon as your feet leave the ground or your elbows touch it, that’s your sign you’ve gone too far.

      I just don’t see a benefit in doing it in the first place. People who actually have some business to attend to in the bowels of the earth can go into caves - if you’re a miner or geologist or something, feel free to walk right in. I’ll stay right here outside and you can tell me all about it when you get back out.

        There are a few large, stable, and very pretty caves that are worth visiting just to experience them. For instance, Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico is a popular tourist spot where you can either hike down to the best part of it or take an elevator. No chance of getting stuck anywhere on the guided path.
