How do you get out of Quick Sand?

Question

I know there is a way.

Answer 1

With quicksand, the more you struggle in it the faster you will sink. If you just relax, your body will float in it because your body is less dense than the quicksand.

The worst thing to do is to thrash around in the sand and move your arms and legs through the mixture. You will only succeed in forcing yourself farther down into the liquid sandpit. The best thing to do is to make slow movements and bring yourself to the surface, then just lie back. You'll float to a safe level.

Answer 2

Quicksand is not as dangerous as depicted in many movies. As quicksand is rarely more than a few feet deep, there is usually little danger of sinking below the surface. Furthermore, even when the quicksand is deep enough, deliberate effort is required to sink below the surface. Quicksand is typically denser than the human body, meaning that a body is much more buoyant in quicksand than in water. Thus, the body will float quite easily in quicksand.

Answer 4

On a Myth Busters episode last year they put this to the test... they found out that in quicksand, you are acctually boyant and will float on the top, because you are less dense then the sand/water mixture.... so in theory, you could just swim to the edge and pull yourself out

Answer 5

Quicksand has been hyped up by the movies. The substance is more dense than the human body, so one can easily float and pull themselves out.

Answer 6

Well if Beastmaster taught me anything it was to always have two ferrits wtih you at all times so that if you are even sinking in quicksand they can help you. They are also helping in creating a distraction from a guy with a weird worm in his brain.

Answer 7

lay on your back and you will float- you wont sink because the quick sand works like water. And when your on your back floating you can grab a root or a stick and pull yourself to land.

Answer 8

Since quicksand is actually just sand diluted with lots of water, all you have to do is swim your way out, or lay on your back and backpaddle.

Answer 9

The easiest way to get loose is to just wait and not move you will eventually float to the top

Answer 10

one thang is for sure when you are in quick sand and that is the more you struggle and mover around the faster you will sink
