Fun fact: 25 people die a year from sand related mishaps. Of those 25, only four would have considered their deaths quick.

Never in my life that I ever thought quicksand was a major problem.

LOL, I actually remember having a fear I would find some and be swallowed up. I haven't thought about that since I was a kid, but yes indeed I did.

Can't say that I thought quicksand was a major problem while growing up in Acadiana.

I was terrified/obsessed with that shite. Once, we thought we had "made" quicksand. We played rock, paper, scissors to see who would "test" it.

I also thought you could dig a hole in the ground, throw some small sticks over it, add some bait, and voila, you'd catch rabbits as they fell into the hole.
I remember checking out trap one day to find rabbit shite on the sticks, but not a single stick was even broken.
