Let’s pretend we’re stuck in quicksand, and the first thing we do is, PANIC! But, that’s the wrong thing to do. If you move around too much, that can actually cause you to go down faster. Next, take any extra weight on you like a backpack, and take it off. The more weight, the more you sink faster. Now that we got that done, we need to try to escape! First, we have to get in position. Lay on your back or move in a sitting position. If you stand up you will sink down more faster. Now, try to wiggle your legs around. Water will get in the space you have made by wiggling the quicksand around and loosen it. Now that the water has loosen the quicksand, try to pull your legs out. When you get your legs out, crawl onto land. Remember slow and steady. Now, we have escaped safely and we can go back home. Here’s a video to show you how to escape quicksand.
