How To Escape Quicksand

If you fall into quicksand, the last thing you want to do is struggle. Remember, quicksand is denser than water; the more you move, the more you sink. But here's where things get really serious. Once you're freed from the quicksand, it gets so much worse.

I'm still trying to figure out why this was a real problem to be afraid of as a child, but suddenly people stopped talking about it. Media does not talk about real problems anymore!!!

[@nidaldarinov1449]

Yeah

[@adriana1santana]

So true, I’ve noticed.
So much dumb stuff has replaced it.

[@brandonsmith5880]

I got stuck in quicksand on the north canadien river in Oklahoma. When I first stepped in it the first thing I noticed was the ground jiggle like jello and thousands of mosquitoes fly into the air. Instinctively I fell backwards and the more I struggled, the deeper my legs sunk. It sucked the shoes right off my feet. I haven't gone back to any river since and just want people to know it's no joke. Be careful out there

[@nishkarshverma2020]

how did u get out

[@brandonsmith5880]

@@nishkarshverma2020 My father-in-law and uncle were fishing about a hundred yards away and I yelled for help. It's a good thing because I doubt I would've been able to get out by myself

[@evangouldtransit]

​@@ayamayer3278 it's not Stefan Johnson.?

[@Adam-qv3ki]

You’re the best I’ve learned so much

[@parrislucas_]

If you fall in quicksand immediately lean backwards and start a backwards butterfly stroke. Soon you will be at the edge until your out or you can grab something grounded to pull yourself out

[@UnicornFairy42]

Your videos are amazing!

[@AtTheCricketPitch]

I love the new voice - good job new voice over artist!

[@tobiojo6469]

[@Scremblem]

Wait.. if it’s worse when you get out of quicksand.. THEN WHY DONT YOU JUST STAY IN THE QUICKSAND LIKE ITS HOME

[@longing202]

[@atheman90]

Because you could suffer from hypothermia, and that could have a fatal result.

[@seyiesetuosopfii3153]

Why'd they change the voice🤦

[@gizamategrecomate6395]
