Nutty Putty Cave is a hydrothermal cave located west of Utah Lake in Utah County, Utah, United States. Formerly popular with cavers and renowned for its narrow passageways, Nutty Putty has been closed to the public since 2009 following a fatal accident that year.

Is John Jones still in Nutty Putty Cave?

John Edward Jones, 26, will have his final resting place in the Nutty Putty Cave, as members of the Utah County Sherriff's office announced there will be no more rescue efforts due to the dangers of the cave.

Why didn't they break John Jones legs?

They pulled again. But John's feet hit the tunnel's low ceiling. With his heart struggling to pump blood into his legs, the contact made him scream in pain. The rescuers came to a horrible realization: The angle of the tunnel meant they couldn't bend John's body backward without likely breaking his legs.
