Timeline: If You Were Trapped In Quicksand

The real-life quicksand isn’t like what you see in the movies. You won’t sink right through, the reason is that quicksand is barely more than a few feet deep. And even if it was deeper than that, humans are only half as dense as quicksand, so you couldn’t sink much lower than your waist.
Quicksand is a non-Newtonian fluid, meaning its viscosity changes under stress. So it becomes liquid under your weight, causing you to sink. Every minute you’re stuck in quicksand increases the risk you’ll suffer from dehydration, starvation, sun stroke, or hypothermia. So have you ever imagined yourself falling into and being trapped in quicksand? Let's find out what follows in this timeline video.

I feel like some people would take the time to learn how to get out of quicksand before going to a sketchy beach.

Would be interesting "if you were trapped at school for the entire summer break"

Almost everyone's greatest fear as a child. Growing up you realize it's not that big of a threat.

You guys should make a video on “what if you were hypnotised forever/what would happen” that would be really cool I would watch it😊

Somehow things that aren’t really dangerous in our opinions immediately become dangerous after watching these videos

You can't actually drown in quick sand you'll most likely stop by the time it's at your chest unless something is pull you down

So this Video explains me never go to the Beach alone!

Beaches have quicksand? Wait what-
Fun fact: if you are trapped in quicksand, just relax and don't fight it. You'll float up and be able to get out.

No one :
Me :Google how to get out of quicksand

[TemperamentalCatLover]

Wouldn't people see you and realize you are drowning in quicksand.

[إنسانة-عخ]

Please do one about what if you never take your shoe's off

[Boring]

I respect for the person who got to it

[KIDLATPLAYS]

Fun fact: You can survive quicksand when you do not move and panic, after that float at the quicksand like you are floating in water,

[Saetaima_yessir]

I like how you always add a BEFORE section

[UnitismTelei]

That was quick because sand’s name is “Quick” Sand

[hypersonic-rvkl]

to escape quicksand, don't panic, just lean back and roll.

[xzugamer]

[marcelohidalgo]

Quicksand isn't that dangerous even in that mysterious beach.

Was the rest of the family sleeping for 20 hours?
