nearly every film in the 70s involved quicksand, I was always scared of it!

In the "Lost in Space" episode "Attack of the Monster Plants" John and Don were in quicksand and John told Don not to struggle.

following a large hurricane and the subsequent very low tide in the state of Delaware I along with two friends actually we're caught in a pit of quicksand. We panicked but only for a moment. We were in slightly above our knees that was enough for us. it was a very memorable experience although I do not wish to repeat it.

There are two acceptable answers here. Relax and swim or float.

Cowofneal, Yes....good info to know. (in old western movies, the bad guy usually sinks out of sight in the quicksand).

RushMama2112, no, it doesn't say swim or float. It says try to swim to safety, which would make you sink faster!

Gma2RooMoo, growing up, watching movies and cartoons, I definitely thought quick sand would be a threat at least once a month.

Quicksand as it's depicted in film and TV isn't real. It's not dangerous at all. It's like getting stuck in mud.

I hope none of us players ever have to step in one, but if it does just remember what not to do

Incorrect, people won't completely sink in any quicksand it is best to move your legs
