Some people un-familiar with caves or possibly a person advertising a cave will claim a pit is "bottomless." Usually you can't see the bottom of these pits, so their story is convincing. Also, they may throw a rock into the pit, it lands in soft dirt and doesn't make a sound, so some gullible people will believe them. The answer to the question is that most of these pits are not even a 30 meters deep. A person should not enter these pits without proper training on techniques for climbing long free-hanging ropes. There are thousands of caves where the pit could be 100 meter free-fall. and there are plenty more deeper than that. The Velebita Pit in Croatia is the deepest pit inside of a cave at 513 meters deep. You would be far safer rappelling off of a sky-scraper, than exploring a deep pit without training or the proper equipment.
