I watched a video a while back where an older couple got stuck in quicksand in Thailand. Totally terrifying. The man had one leg knee-deep. When he tried to put the other foot down to push himself out, it just sank–now both feet were knee-deep and he couldn’t do much of anything except flail around. Fortunately a local stopped, got prone on the quicksand and tossed them a rope that he tied to his car and used to pull them out.
