I don't have claustrophobia, but thinking about this dude is about as close as I get. What an awful way to die, and I can't imagine how insane you have to be to enjoy this hobby.
The one thing about that which I find worth defending, is how much his video made the story entertaining. I wouldn't have read the article but his video kept me engaged . Even if the writing was copied, he still added a lot to it.
We should really have a spelunking agency go around closing off these "no room to turn around" passageways because as fun as these caver types are personally, they're also the kind of morons who see a very obviously dangerous hole off the recommended path and think "LEZZDOIIIIIIIIT!" Basically most of the cast of "As Above So Below", "What's that, this supposed passageway to hell is shifting in ways to reveal passages that are unknown even to this expert catacomb guide despite his tag being on the walls? LET'S KEEP GOING!"
I like to imagine the horror of going down an "unexplored" hole, being unable to turn around or back out, and crawling face first into the previous explorer's boots.

For any cave dweller who haven't seen it, here's Hbomberguy talking about the history of this video and it's plagiarism, as @Mago alluded to.
