Quicksand isn`t lethal without help.
This might be a generational thing, but if you are anywhere near my age, we were worried about stuff
as kids. Dangers like lava, catching on fire, and quicksand - all things we wanted to avoid.
Lava is real of course, but kind of regional. Most people don`t randomly catch on fire. Quicksand is
also a real thing, and can be found anywhere there is enough water and granulated soil.
The thing is, it is impossible for a human to drown in quicksand. That`s a fact, despite what you see
in movies.
If quicksand kills you, it`s just because you can`t move so well and exposure gets you, or a predator,
or you drown in a rising tide... but not the quicksand itself.
