So called 'Urban explorers' could be putting themselves at risk in bids for social media fame

Urban exploring, or urbexing, involves documenting infiltrations of man-made environments, often in restricted areas, for online acclaim. Participants face risks as they push boundaries for thrills and followers. While some take safety precautions, the danger is part of the appeal. Legal exploration is possible through groups like Subterranea Britannica, which gain permission to explore. However, a culture of one-upmanship and sponsorship pressures can lead to greater risks, potentially resulting in fatalities.
