    Could be. I have never encountered quicksand but I have heard that you don’t really sink past your waist.

      Most quicksand probably isn’t that deep, so you’ll end up standing on a more solid layer

      i believe it follows similar laws as water and buoyancy. you slow/stop sinking once the displaced water/force is greater than whats above the sand. Similar to deep eater, panicking only allows you to sink more.
