It's funny how news agencies all report that the man was "trapped" in the cave, which to me would indicate he had something pinning him down or that a collapse prevented getting out of the cave. News writers really don't appreciate that cavers are happy underground and that they put themselves there on purpose. So being underground a little longer than planned is just perhaps inconvenient.
Maybe they could rewrite the story along those lines: "An injured 51-year-old caver got to stay in the cave longer than expected as he was helped along by rescuers."
