A deadly trap: a man got out of quicksand (2 photos + 1 video)

12 August 2024

A blogger named Kolti, known for his extreme stunts, decided to help people who are afraid of getting stuck in quicksand.





A thrill-seeker named Kolti got stuck in quicksand on purpose to demonstrate how to get out of it. The man shared the life hack in one of his YouTube videos.

Many people experience an inexplicable fear of getting stuck in quicksand, because they do not know how to get out. A thrill-seeker named Colty, who has amassed 4.87 million fans on YouTube for his crazy stunts, got his feet stuck on a muddy beach in Australia on purpose to show how to get out.

"What people should worry about is not quicksand, it's the tide. Some people get stuck and when the tide comes back, it goes over their heads and they end up drowning," the vlogger explained.

The guy then showed his viewers how to get out. He encourages people to lie on their backs and create as much surface area as possible.

"I just stay like this," he explained, leaning back and holding his arms wide open over the sand.



Colty then begins to slowly move his legs up and down, creating voids in the sand.

"Eventually, the legs should float to the surface, and you can pull them out," he added.

Quicksand can be found in a variety of environments. It typically occurs where water saturates loose sand, creating a mushy, unstable mixture. Quicksand often forms along river banks, where the water table is close to the surface. It can also be found in coastal areas, especially where the tides are high and low. You should also be careful in swamps, marshes, lakeshores, and deserts. In addition, construction sites can pose a danger.
