Quicksand is no joke and self-rescue isn't always possible. The harder you pull on a branch or a rescuer pulls on you, the worse it gets! Removing just your foot from quicksand at the rate of 0.01 meters per second requires the same force required to lift a car. The truth is, pulling a person (even yourself) out of quicksand won't result in freedom. In the movies, escape from quicksand often comes in the form of an outstretched hand, underwater vine, or overhanging branch. Whether this has actually occurred is unknown, but modern science considers it possible. There are reports of people, vehicles, and entire caravans sinking into it and being lost.
