Every kids fear who grew up in the 70s

Quick sand is so much better than slow sand

[Izzyduude]

Growing up I thought quick sand would be a much bigger issue than it is today. There is almost no quicksand in my apartment but I’m staying vigilant.

And the camera guy was right there waiting.

[DannyWalker]

That happens more than you think. That sand in the panhandle is very soft and not packed like it is on the Atlantic side of the state. And places where they have put in dredged sand is the worst.

Looks like a set up to me! Did she make it home okay?

[rcnelson]

She sank just the right amount to say she was in Destin Knee, Fl.

Yea your staging it as if it really happened though I find that funny.
The woman pulls a fake smile right before stepping into the quicksand,
her steps went from large to small steps just before going into the quicksand.
She is confirming its location by quickly looking at it at 00:06, and the
fact the camera man is conveniently setup right by the puddle.

"this is quicksand, unbelievable"

Nah mate, that was just a small puddle with some water and loose sand
that happens when the tide subsides. They will be there a couple minutes
after the tide pulled back, once the water drained of its gone. It seemed to
be just sand and water, and released her foot very quickly. These things
spring up all around beaches when the tide falls, that does not make it
quicksand though.

For that it needs to be a mixture between water, fine sand and clay and it will
act like a none-Newtonian fluid, will most likely be a lot deeper then just 5 inches,
and has a much more firm grip then this puddle did.

Ever been stuck deep in the mud?
Actual quicksand grip is just a firm as that mud and feels like you're stuck in a
block halve dried concrete. This is just a small puddle of some loose sand that
created some suction the moment you step on it, but it misses a crucial element.
The fact you will not sink much ( if any ) further in that puddle when wiggling.

In Destin, your destination just could be into another dimension.

They should put up a warning sign that says “Danger, Quicksand” on that spot

[williampalchak]

That's not quick sand. That's not slow sand. That's not fast sand. That's half fast sand.

Cut to : Her hotel room as he sand- blasts the remants of the beach away😮...

[fredericklockard]

Fake. So he just happened to be filming a strange woman at the exact moment she hit “quicksand”?

[MFbuenas]

it is rather slow for quick sand? maybe it is kind of optimized slow sand?

[marlow]

Yeah, some dude is just randomly videoing some woman walking on the beach and was there to help - seems legit.

[mikezerker]

My biggest fear as a kid was to be inadvertently swallowed by quick sand since I kept seeing it happen in my favorite cartoons!

[reneegudjon]

Also quick silver is more dangerous than usual silver

[brucelucasjr]

"I don't like sand. It's rough and course and gets everywhere" said some random Sith Lord probably

[EricaYE]

Scary! So glad your husband was there to pull you out.

[ALLROY]

Good the lady did not get snarly at the guy for filming her, otherwise she has to pull herself out.
