In November 2009, a family trip down to the Nutty Putty caves turned into a hellish nightmare, causing one of the most unusual and arguably terrifying deaths in caving history, leading to the Nutty Putty caves being sealed shut forever.
This is the story of the Nutty Putty Cave incident.

My dad was one of the lead rescuers on the Utah County Search and Rescue team that responded to Nutty Putty. My dad was one of the last people to talk to John alive. He seemed to come to terms that this was the end, and fell unconscious shortly after. After he became unresponsive the rescue efforts went from astronomically difficult to impossible. The rescuers left the cave after more hours of trying with anything they could, and shared in a prayer with the family. Every year on Thanksgiving weekend you can always catch my dad in some corner of the house by himself thinking about John. Rest in Peace John. It is because of you that my dad and many members of that Utah County team felt inspired to pay many thousands of dollars to go to the most advanced trench, collapsed, and cave rescues courses and schools that exist within the United States, and as a result, dozens of people were saved.

So we should close all roller coasters? And close all roads. And no more hiking because you might lost and need rescuing. Maybe we should close all caves. And mountains. No more planes cause they may crash and first responders may die trying to rescuing you. Hmmm no more dryers in homes because they cause thousands of fires a year. Wow your logic sucks. People need the freedom to explore and entertain themselves. Not only that but there are very few deaths like his. He was no longer a skinny kid. He was a 200 lb man who hasn't been in a cave in years and he made mistakes. We all shouldn't suffer because he died. Life is dangerous. We all will die. Even you. We can't just stop doing things because someone might get hurt. First responders KNOW what they do is dangerous. Saving people is a dangerous business. I did it for years and yet I wouldn't want everyone to not have access to caves and mountains and airplanes ect ect just because someone might get stuck and I might die trying to save them. Ffs are you joking?

I find it weird that, on multiple occasions, two boys got stuck in the same area where John Edward Jones went and got stuck upside down. What raises my curiosity is why the authorities didn't take preventive measures, such as sealing off that particular tunnel in the cave. Despite being aware of the potential danger and having previously sealed the cave due to safety concerns, they opted to reopen it based on public demand. It seems unusual that they neglected to address the specific hazard posed by that tunnel, why didn't they seal that tunnel of the cave when they knew how dangerous it was and still left it open without any warning note or barrier there. Even if they reopened the cave, they could have at least sealed that specific tunnel. This is such a big mistake and negligence at their end, to be very honest.

@rd24life 2 ай бұрын

I agree. They installed a locked gate at the entrance and only those with a permit for the day could unlock it. Why not also put gates blocking access to unmapped passages. This was preventable. For every rescue there were probably dozens of near misses that were close to needing rescues. There were extremely dangerous parts of this cave.

I explored these caves twice. My initial visit was with 6 friends. I got a little ridiculed for chickening out on a narrow passage and backed out while I still could. The 2nd time, I was the lead with one other friend (1st timer). Again, didn’t try anything too dangerous but I got lost trying to exit because you have to go up, then down, then up again like a horizontal S. So when you are looking for the exit shaft, your flashlight looks like it is hitting 360* or rock wall. It took me two hours of searching foot by foot, little passage by little passage before I found my way out. I swore off the caves forever after that.

I'm sure he went through many stages as he saw one rescue attempt after another fail and remained stuck, and, no doubt, that exact thought entered his mind at some point. People do dumb things all the time without fully considering the possible consequences, and I'm sure everyone in the comments has had at least one or two lucky breaks in the course of their lives when they hadn't exactly made the best decision. Yes, he did a stupid thing, but he alone paid the price for it; and, at least from what I can see of it from this video, he mostly put on a brave face in a hopeless situation, which is as much as any man can be asked to do in similar circumstances: RIP to him.

Exhibit 182892 of why I am not into caving or cave diving 😭 I'm working towards volunteer SAR with my canine as well as eventually W-EMT myself and mounted tracking with a sure-footed mule. I can't do direct recovery work myself, but it's such important work. Rescue gear failing is absolutely a worst nightmare on top of an already horrifically unreal situation. Bless this recovery team. Cave work is so incredibly difficult and delicate, many mountain team workers and wildfire fighters won't touch it. Rope climbing, horse riding, snorkeling, sure. I RESPECT caves. Just like I respect the ocean and only go on or in it when I'm ready to die (ie rarely). And why I only boulder (and don't free climb or slackline). I just binged all your videos and realized, voluntarily putting oneself out of satellite device reach is wild. Like of all the things you've covered, nearly all except the caving and cave diving (or multiple layers of steel) could've been aided with satellite communication devices. I've been seeing people entertain solo phone free camping trips and I always rail on taking a sat device if absolutely nothing else.

At the very least he wouldn't have been stuck upside down with the blood rushing to his torso and head, his legs numb and his arms pinned, unable to move or to assist in his own rescue in any way. Once he went head down into the hole he was pretty much doomed. He would've had an even better chance of survival if he hadn't gone down there at all in the first place.

There are three areas on Earth where recovering the remains of people who have died is simply too dangerous to attempt: The tops of tall mountains, inside of underwater caves, and inside of above-water caves. There are still explorers who died on Mount Everest in a seated position inside of an ice cave that mountaineers have to pass every time they climb, a reminder that, if you die up there, no one is coming to claim your body. I saw a video about a diver who could not be recovered after he got lost exploring an undersea cave. That cave is now his tomb. The Nutty Putty caves are now this man's tomb as well. Know your limits as a human, and realize that the Earth does not care if you suffocate, drown or freeze to death trying to explore parts of it.

Once you are married and have a family, there must be a limit to the risk you would take. Feeding your adrenaline or 'pushing yourself' against nature to prove something will not replace a husband or father if it goes wrong. Nature does not care about your background, personality or family. There must be a balance at some point so you can enjoy what you do without having to pay the ultimate price. Very sad for everyone involved.

My father was a High Angle/Confined space rescuer for 20 years and had to rescue people in these types of situations. I asked what went wrong with the rescue on this one? How come they couldn't get him out? He said there was many reason why it all went wrong, the local rescue team that arrived to help was to stubborn to realize they didnt know how to get him out and refused to call for outside help, They werent trained properly on these types of rescues, but his biggest answer was they were trying to do everything they can to not hurt him. And when I asked wouldnt you not want to hurt him either and he said, at first yes you do what you can but if all attempts fail then just rip out and worry about injuries later because at least he wont be in the hole anymore. He always told me remember little Jessica stuck in the well, they tried to pull her out safely but when they couldnt do that a pracademic just grabbed her leg and pulled her and yes he broker her leg when he did that but she is alive today.

Absolutely. The Tham Luang rescue of the Thailand soccer team children, decided to anaesthetize the children so they would not struggle while being transported out, because it was so dangerous, they could have killed rescuers and doomed the other children. Anaesthesia can be dangerous even in a hospital. Unfortunately, I am certain John Jones family would have sued if he had died in such an attempt.
