How to Survive Falling Into Quicksand

Spread The Viralist



Picture this, you’re having a nice, relaxing walk on a private beach without a care in the world. All of a sudden, your foot drops into a deep and mucky puddle. You struggle to pull your leg out, but it just won’t budge. Before you know it, you’re sinking rapidly, and half of your body is submerged in cold, wet quicksand. The more you struggle, the more you sink. Talk about a terrible way to end a vacation.

  1. I never heard of quick sand in France, but felt intense stress watching this. The fear of suffocation is so deeply ingrained in any living creature.

  2. The last time I stepped into mud while walking once I felt it go up past to my knees I had this instinct to throw myself forwards belly flopping onto the ground with my hands Superman stretched.

    I think it was about surface area/ just trying to get as clear of it as possible.

    I’ll never know how deep it actually was.. but I warn you there were footprints 👣 on the surface where somebody else had been able to walk without sinking… so remember that just cause someone else could another doesn’t mean you can THIS time!

  3. How could You Stay Afloat In QuickSand?

    Lean Back and wiggle your feet or grab onto something, this will slow down The sinking process helping you stay afloat

    What Signs of quicksand should you look out for?

    If you can, Try to Read the warning signs something like “Don’t Go in the Quicksand, Don’t move while your in the Quicksand or you will sink deeper

    Could you rescue yourself if you’re all alone?

    Well again you’re going to want to grab on to something like a branch in the tree and you could rescue yourself.
