It took him 8 minutes to sink to that point, and george's advice of laying flat probably works in the first 2. If you lay down flat and try to float the moment you see you start sinking, you should be mostly fine. The reason you sink is because your whole body weight is on your feet; by laying flat you're multiplying the area by well over a dozen times while keeping the same mass.

I think me and my cousins came across really slow acting quick sand. The tide was out and we wanted to get to this small island in a bay that we always wanted to explore. Half way there our feet kept getting stuck in the sand and we could pull them out but our other foot would sink faster. There was no where to stand that was solid. We ended up getting really muddy and covered in wet sand. My main concern was my parents getting mad at me for getting my clothes all covered in wet sand. ( We would lean forward on the beach or fall over cuz we lost our balance, that's how the sand got on our clothes) Anyway we gave up on the island and just returned to shore but if that sand was any looser we could have ended up in proper quick sand.

I once stepped on a patch of quicksand walking across a beach like that. It was a fair way out, too, so nobody within shouting distance, which could have gotten me into a really ugly pickle. Luckily, I had good reflexes: as soon as I felt my foot not meeting the expected resistance on the ground while taking a step, I shifted my weight to the back foot and got away without trouble. It felt a bit like missing a step, so it does wake you up to the situation and gets your reflexes going quite quickly, but I was lucky to notice the lack of firm ground while my weight was still balanced between both legs.

I knew of a young 15 or 16 year old lad who got trapped in quicksand on the coast near where I lived in UK. By the time the rescue services reached him it was up passed his chest. They couldn't get him out and as he could hardly breath they gave him oxygen until he was submerged. It shook me up thinking about that poor young terrified kid.

For all those scared of it im a physicist and it is impossible to sink fully in it. Yes you don’t want to be in it for too long as the pressure will limit blood flow. But humans are a lot less dense than quick sand. To get the percentage of a floating object of a set density u do 1 density divided by the other times 100 percent and for the density of humans divided by the density of quick sand times by 100 percent we then get 50% hence why the furthest down he went was 50 percent of his body
