Quicksand...

So many times i have watched a movie where the hero is sucked down into a pit of quicksand, only to be saved at the last minute by grabbing a nearby tree branch and pulling himself out. Is it so in the real life too and can you get out of it?

Funnily enough my hubby was watching a programme not so long ago and the man on it was demonstrating quicksand and how dangerous it is and how to get out of it. If you panic and thrash about it pulls you in quicker, you have to stay calm and then slowly drag yourself out a bit at a time, he actually went into a quicksand pit and managed to get himself out of it, he also showed how quickly it can pull you down.

So it is almost the same thing for real as seen on movies?

real life is so very different from reel life .quicksand as the name suggests is sinking sand and no one can possibly save you.
