Why You Should Never Trust Wet Sand

This is why you should never trust a beach just because everyone else does. Because while some people might think quicksand is easy to spot, that's actually why so many walk directly into it. Most of the time, it looks almost identical to normal wet sand. So, people don't realize there's a problem until the ground suddenly collapses beneath them. And once their legs sink in, struggling usually makes it worse. Because every movement loosens the sand and pulls them deeper instead. Then, after enough time, the pressure around their body becomes so tight that escaping alone can become almost impossible.
