How to Survive Falling Into Quicksand

You struggle to pull your leg out, but it just won’t budge. Before you know it, you’re sinking rapidly, and half of your body is submerged in cold, wet quicksand. The more you struggle, the more you sink. Talk about a terrible way to end a vacation.

  1. When I was 5 years old, I was at the beach with my family. I accidentally stepped into some quicksand and started sinking in. Then this old lady came up to me and said, "I got you." Then she lifted me out. I wish I could thank this old lady for saving my life, but she's probably dead now.
