I wouldn't say it's stupid and in truth it wasn't too dangerous... But I was down in one of the biggest mine networks in my area (Box Freestone) and we were on our way out when it felt and sounded like the entire mine was rumbling. It was fucking loud as hell (if anyone else has been in a collapse they will probably know). We've heard cars and trains down there before and they are basically silent compared to this. So we got the hell out of there.
Next time we went down we aimed to take the traditional route to get to a location called Cathedral. Half way along the tunnel was completely blocked, one of the biggest falls I had ever seen in the mines. About 10m of the roof had come down into the path making it almost impossible to get through. We've been more vigilant for that kind of stuff since then.
Another incident that happened down there was that my girlfriend touched the side of a wall once and the wall started to collapse. This was in a very dodgy part of the mine as well so we quickly got out.
I've got another story down there of how I single handedly ruined the mines for everyone with a fake dildo, but that's a story for another time.
