    Not to make too fine a point of it, but quicksand is relatively rare in the Bermuda Triangle. Unless it is a very watered down version of course, but that’s outside my comfort zone.

          I suppose there’s also the really wet sand, on the ocean floor. I don’t think it gets much more wet than that. Not sure how quick it is though. But presumably if you are stuck in that sand, then you have already endured a series of arguably less desirable circumstances.

      Quicksand is hella rare everywhere. As a kid i feared it hard and knowing how to escape it was absolutely survival-critical knowledge.

      I have never once been anywhere even near it.

        You can make your own, it’s fun! Dig a big hole on the beach, fill it with water, then put the sand back in. It makes kind of a trap, you can’t necessarily tell there’s a hole there but if you step on it, you’ll sink right in. Don’t worry, you can get out just fine.
