Surviving Quicksand: Keep Calm and Follow These Tips.

If you find yourself stuck in quicksand, the first thing to remember is not to panic. It's impossible to drown in quicksand because humans float in it. To escape, try making small back-and-forth motions with your legs, which should loosen the sand around you. Another option is to lean forward and drag yourself free while gently kicking your legs. Never enter quicksand territory without a stick or pole.
