Indiana University spelunking club suspended after student was locked in cave for 60 hours

Quote

Indiana University has suspended its student spelunking club pending an investigation into how a freshman was locked inside a cave for 60 hours.

University officials announced Monday that the Office of Student Conduct is conducting an investigation into how 19-year-old Lukas Cavar became trapped inside Sullivan Cave with no food or fresh water, The Herald-Times reported.

Cavar was on a beginner's spelunking trip with the Caving Club on Sept. 17 when he was separated from the group. He then discovered the gate at the cave's entrance was padlocked and that the other 12 club members were unaware he was still inside.

Cavar, of Bloomington, had no cellphone service in the cave. He tried but failed to pick the gate's lock with a paper clip and he yelled for hours trying to attract the attention of motorists on a road a few hundred feet away, but to no avail. With few resources with him, Cavar even resorted to licking moisture from the cave's stone walls to keep from getting dehydrated.

I don't get this line of thinking. So he had to lick moisture off the cave walls. We've all been there, right? NBD. He shouldn't be kicked off the spelunking team for it.

You haven't lived until you've licked moisture off a cave's wall though
