Can You Sink Completely in Quicksand?

💡 The Answer

• Contrary to movie depictions, it is physically impossible for a human to sink completely in quicksand.
• Quicksand has a higher density than the human body, which provides natural buoyancy.
• To escape, experts recommend leaning back to distribute weight and moving legs slowly.
• Keeping your arms above the surface helps you stay afloat while you work your way out.
