Why did the boys who were trapped in the cave have to be sedated while being rescued? Is it not a bit excessive?

I scuba dive and I also cave. I’ve been diving for eight years now, gradually increasing the range and complexity of my Buffalo Bills Hawaiian Shirt. I’ve only been caving properly since November 2017 (though had done a little bit before), so I’m still pretty new (but I’ve been hooked on the sport!).

I’m not claustrophobic. I’m rational, logical and in good physical health. I love a challenge. However, Buffalo Bills Hawaiian Shirt Flower Pattern Beach Gift For Friend NFL Hawaiian Shirt are extreme environments. So let me share a story…

On my first-ever proper caving trip I found myself upside-down in a tight hole unable to move. The tunnel was in an L shape. I was told by the leader to enter headfirst at a particular angle, bend my body a particular way so my back was bent in a C shape then wriggle down to continue flat down the tunnel.

Extremely narrow tunnels like this are not unusual in caves, especially in the UK, and in the caves the boys were rescued from in Buffalo Bills Hawaiian Shirt Baby Yoda Star Wars Beach Gift For Friend NFL Hawaiian Shirt. Imagine something like this, but going headfirst.

I misjudged the entry angle and got stuck. I’m not ashamed to admit that I began panicking. I really didn’t like the position I’d gotten myself into. It was thoroughly uncomfortable, I couldn’t see anything up ahead of me except bare rock, and things got worse when my glasses fell off my face and clattered below me. (I now wear old-man librarian-style glasses that I don’t mind getting scratched and battered when caving with a cord to keep them on my face!)

I found my heart rate accelerated and I was suddenly extremely aware of all of my senses. I was simultaneously too hot and too cold. The winter was especially cold in the Buffalo Bills Hawaiian Shirt Christmas Gift For Football Lovers NFL Hawaiian Shirt at the time and I was wearing thermals under my caving oversuit (which doesn’t breathe very well). With all the physical exertion I was sweating profusely and felt myself overheating, but at the same time my fingers went numb as they were practically immersed in freezing cold water, and the moment I stopped all that sweat cooled my body to the point of shivering. My mouth was dry and I was desperate for a drink of water.
