urban exploration
September 6 2008Since UE often occurs in places that are abandoned or neglected, safety is a very important concern. Disused sites may be unstable, while tunnels and sewers may flood if it rains – trapping explorers inside. Abandoned sites are often scattered with debris and broken glass, while hospitals and factories may contain dangerous chemicals.
The legality of exploration must also be considered. While many sites are on public land with unrestricted access, others are on private property, condemned or fenced off and should be avoided. And since September 11, 2001, security has become especially important. Walking down a dark tunnel is probably not worth jail time or a steep fine.
In addition, there are ethical considerations. Every effort should be made to avoid damaging sites so they remain open and safe for future visitors. Explorers often refuse to reveal the locations of places they visit to protect from vandalism.
While these risks are real, urban exploration can offer people an exciting glimpse of unseen places all around. Form catacombs to abandoned buildings, you never know what adventures may be waiting around the corner – or under your feet! nishuodeshisha,womeikandong
