Quicksand isn't so deadly as it is assumed to be

Yes,but is isn't as deadly as in the movies.Quicksand is formed when sand gets mixed up with excess water and becomes loosened and syrupy.It may look like normal sand,but once you step on it,the pressure from your foot causes the sand to act more like a liquid,pulling you right into itself.The harder you struggle,the deeper you move.But if you remain still,you start to float.So if you ever experience stepping into quicksand,it's better not to move until you've stopped sinking.Then very slowly try getting flat on your stomach and crawl out.Quicksand isn't very common and one is not likely to sink deeper than up to his waist.
