Quicksand Is Not Impossible To Get Out Of
Was the quicksand scene in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull the last time you encountered the terrifying substance? If so, you should know that bit featured misconceptions about it. You cannot actually drown in quicksand. Moreover, you should not grab a snake or rope to get yourself out of it. It is denser than the body, so your foot will push you into the sand and cause the clay and water to close around your body. You will only ever sink halfway down. There is only danger of drowning if a tide comes in at some point. If you want to get out, you only need to wiggle your leg a little and then step up. Floating will also help so try lying on your back horizontally.
