I’ve never seen quicksand in real life, I’ve never met anyone else who’s actually seen it, I’ve never heard an actual case of somebody getting caught in it. Except in movies and cartoons.
It happened to me. I used to live next to a gravel pit, with lots of clay.
There was quicksand near the pond.
But like you, I’d seen so many cowboy movies of guys dying in it I panicked, at first.
It didn’t take long to figure out that calm wiggling was the only thing that would save me.
It took a long time.
