Sinking

How to survive falling into quicksand

Carry an inflatable beach-ball. If you fall into quicksand, you can can blow it up and use it for support to pull yourself out. In the absence of a beach ball, don't panic. You will most likely sink immediately to only your waist or chest. Don't frantically struggle. Rapid movements cause further agitation, resulting in further sinking. Take deep breaths and keep your lungs full of air. This will make you more buoyant, and you'll float, allowing you to rest. Exhaustion is your biggest hindrance to getting free.
