Comments said a white hardhat is an engineer or safety inspector, guessing his phone can feed him data from sensors on the ride and that's the most convenient spot for it somehow? Or he's showing off, a thing safety inspectors love doing.

Reminds me of that Veritasium on planned obsolescence and the actual conspiracy surrounding lightbulbs (iirc)

With incandescent lightbulbs there is a tradeoff between efficiency and durability. A thicker filament takes more electricity to get up to temperature but lasts longer.
It isnt that difficult to make a lightbulb that lasts for a hundred years, it's just that it'll spend that entire hundred years being a kind of lovely lightbulb.

I can! Just... only at long wavelengths. And not very efficiently.
I also last a lot less than a hundred years.

gently caress that's some trippy poo poo.

I feel like somehow it's a bit safer than all the POV MTB videos we see where they're like, on the edge of a cliff. Plus if I had to do any caving I feel like I'd want to get out of there ASAP, so the bike would help. Still, it's scary. :ohdear:

Cave biking seems nice compared to other caving in this thread. You at least assume high ceilings and a decent path. I guess you have to lug your gear up from the bottom but at least there are no squeezes.

I think that the major hazard there would be that if you did need medical attention, getting it could be a problem.

This is no worse than ordinary caving but is worse than ordinary mountain biking.

Rocks and water are heavy and need to be removed in great quantity, so whenever practical, mines have horizontal exits on the lowest level, called “adits”.

Not technically a cave, but found a helicopter flying through a long natural arch. It’s at the end, but the whole clip is a minute.

I once rode my bike up a hill of rubble at a construction site and noticed that the hole it came out of was on the other side of the hill. Immediate stop, "oh poo poo!", go back down the way I came slowly.
