      It took him 8 minutes to sink to that point, and george's advice of laying flat probably works in the first 2. If you lay down flat and try to float the moment you see you start sinking, you should be mostly fine. The reason you sink is because your whole body weight is on your feet; by laying flat you're multiplying the area by well over a dozen times while keeping the same mass.

    I think me and my cousins came across really slow acting quick sand. The tide was out and we wanted to get to this small island in a bay that we always wanted to explore. Half way there our feet kept getting stuck in the sand and we could pull them out but our other foot would sink faster. There was no where to stand that was solid. We ended up getting really muddy and covered in wet sand. My main concern was my parents getting mad at me for getting my clothes all covered in wet sand. ( We would lean forward on the beach or fall over cuz we lost our balance, that's how the sand got on our clothes) Anyway we gave up on the island and just returned to shore but if that sand was any looser we could have ended up in proper quick sand.

    I once stepped on a patch of quicksand walking across a beach like that. It was a fair way out, too, so nobody within shouting distance, which could have gotten me into a really ugly pickle. Luckily, I had good reflexes: as soon as I felt my foot not meeting the expected resistance on the ground while taking a step, I shifted my weight to the back foot and got away without trouble. It felt a bit like missing a step, so it does wake you up to the situation and gets your reflexes going quite quickly, but I was lucky to notice the lack of firm ground while my weight was still balanced between both legs.

    How to Escape a quicksand.
    1-Don’t panic, stretch your arms to maximum and place it on semi fluidic surface to increase your surface area.
    2-Don’t stand at 90 degree, tilt your body forward so that your chest starts touching semi fluidic surface.
    3-Try to take one leg out of mud, minimise the use of hands and arm, start pushing mud back with your foot, it will help you take other foot out as well.
    4-Push the mud back and grab the solid surface with your hands and pull yourself out.

    I got stuck in quicksand once when I was a kid, and it is scary because you truly can't move your legs, it's like being stuck in concrete and the more you try to get out, the worse it gets. As he says, you can feel it tightening around your legs. You have to get out of it quickly because once it gets to your knees, it's really hard to lift your leg up enough to get out of it. There wasn't any danger of disappearing into the muck or anything, but you really can't move. You're stuck. I got out by falling forward onto harder sand the way I had come and sort of pulled and crawled my way out. It is scary though.

    i got myself into quicksand once when i was around 10, but lucky i was light and i didn't sink too deep, and i thank god that my mom buys me every book i want, which include an outdoor survival book, so i laid on my chest and pull myself out, but i lost one shoe(could have digged it out but i was so scared i couldn't run away from that place quick enough let alone digging the shoe lol). Anyway it was scary, then i told my mom about it, and nobody believes me that i pulled myself out of quicksand. All i say is that i was very light in weight, and i didn't wiggle my legs too much, cuz the more u wiggle faster you'll sink.

      Uhh... Animals arent over harvesting the oceans, leaking oil everywhere, and generaly just making asses of themselves like we are. When a particular species overpopulates, nature corrects and reigns it in. We've neutralized most natural influences that would do that, and we're clearly not intelligent enough to curb rampant breeding on our own... So...

      Actually animals overkill other animals everyday. You just don't know about it because it's in the wild. All it takes is a little common sense not to spew out garbage that you have no knowledge about other then what you find on the Internet.

    Just in case nobody has mentioned this and if anybody is interested .. that quaint village is called 'Arnside'. I've been there a couple of times. The village has a siren warning when the tide is coming in and if the conditions are right the siren can indicate that the Arnside Bore is approaching.
