    Easy answer. Because Elon's design was based on British cave expert diver Stanton who had dived the route, found the kids, and subsequently encouraged Elon to develop the sub.

     

    And if someone died would it mean almost certainly it was the incorrect one? All we know is it was a judgement call and thankfully, it worked. Certainly it was risky and the chances of 100% survival was never guaranteed from any of the available options.

     

    An unproven rushed out sub being a much more risky choice and possibly of limited use given the tight turns.

    Why should they be considered as Famous ?  They did something that was potentially dangerous, some would say it was a stupid idea to go in the cave, and they got caught out by the water and nearly died a slow death. That is NOT how you become famous. Too many media outlets, mainly TV,   like to portray people as "Famous" or a "Celebrity" When they have really done nothing worthy. 

    The media is desperate to gain publicity out of human survival stories. The Phuket disaster is a much bigger story yet hardly a mention by foreign press.

    You really are struggling to read my posts, or just interpreting them as you want to aid some imagined argument.

    I neither promote or agree with what the guy says. I merely pointed out that there are always arguments out there for both camps.

    I'm done trying to make my point with you. As I have repeatedly said, do your own thing but please don't preach "facts" that aren't facts...

    See ya...

    You quoted the site so own it.

    It doesn't matter.... The fact is, there is always some report, somewhere that will contradict what you have read in another report.

    That was just a quick search, I can find lots more..

    However, I'm not for or against the promotion of supplements, I just choose not to buy into it.

    I get plenty of protein, carbs and fats from my normal diet. I like food, not pills/powders ?

    Of course it matters. No surname, no qualifications.

     

    Who takes diet advice from unknown sources?

     

    Apparently some do.

    Simple answer is to close all wet caves during rainy season. Any cave that has passages too small to walk through should be closed or have the passages blocked off.  Any cave deeper than say 500 metres ,as an example, should only have guided tours. And they must all be one price only tickets !

    One price is a dream. They make a fortune off double pricing.

    Depends what research you read. As with everything health related, there s always different arguments, for and against...

    That's why it's often confusing to work out what's best.

    I stick to a reasonably healthy diet, varied but consistent exercise and don't bother with supplements/potions ?

    Each to their own.. I just want to be fit enough to run a 10km race whenever I choose to do so... Or ride a 50km route for fun..

     

    For building muscle it's a good product. Research shows this. It is ideal just before and after workouts as it gets absorbed quicker than standard foods.

    Some 70 people die every day on the Thai roads. Its a disgrace and a national tragedy. But here we are discussing safety in caves of which there has been one incident in 30 years. There is none so blind as those that will not see.

    Correct, you can drive for an hour and see hundreds (if not thousands) of people driving in a reckless manner everyday of the week. Many going 50kph over the limit and no one to stop this.

    LoL, the local police scuppered that idea - insisted that I live out of a suitcase in a hotel (nice hotel, but not the same as having a condo or house with a kitchen.

     

     

    YES!  I most definitely want (and will) continue to 'be ridiculous'.  If I have time between my fitness activities, I'll visit you in the old folks' home.

     

    I should mention that my fitness program isn't just running 5 Km every day.  I do some weight training activities on 2 days, cycle 20 Km on Sunday, do some swimming.  I understand that it's important to put some variation into my routines.

    Sounds like overtraining. Your legs are fatigued. Whey protein is good btw, the guy dishing it needs to do more research.
