News Hollywood lied to us; you can not fully sink in quicksand.

[MicroBrew]

- In many movies a persons dies by sinking in quicksand.
- This is false, because the density of the human body is lower than the density of quicksand, so humans can not sink , such that their head submerges.
- Part of a human can get submerged but not the entire body.

We've been lied to !!!!!

This is by far the worst Hollywood lie.

You also can't save someone fallling off a ledge by grabbing their hand and pulling them back up. Unless we're talking about a small child.

In theory you could, but in the event that they've started to fall there is a high chance they won't be using that arm again for 6-8 weeks.

Never saw Pretty Woman, huh?

 

[Five Fingered Fresh Fist]

@Milgrim Is this a Richard Gere gerbil reference?

 

[Milgrim]

@Five Fingered Fresh Fist It is a billionaire married hooker with a heart of gold reference.

 

[Five Fingered Fresh Fist]

Maybe she was down the the gerbil thing though.

When I was a kid I was legit terrified of quick sand, that was like the scariest shit imaginable to me and I lived each moment in fear that I would one day meet my doom by suffocating in a big sloppy pool of that wet, dark murder

Same here. I was always terrified when we went out on the desert.

[BB in Crazy!!!!]

Yeah, I really did think quicksand was far more common than it really was due to TV.

 

[Bornstarch]

That's weird because I saw a video of a guy drowning in quick sand and dying

was it Faces of Death?

 

[Bornstarch]

was it Faces of Death?

No, it was more recent. Guy was fucking around in the quicksand and got sucked in til he was all the way down under.

 

[Law Talkin’ Guy]

I remember being scared of the quicksand in Super Mario Bros 3

 

[RollSonnenRoll]

This fucked me up, man

 

[Pizza Werewolf]

No, it was more recent. Guy was fucking around in the quicksand and got sucked in til he was all the way down under.

Was he a magician?
Did he have an assistant?
Were tigers involved?

 

[Sycho Sid]

Not only can you drown in quicksand, it only takes seconds to sink!

 

[Pizza Werewolf]

I read in the original script to pretty woman Julia Roberts character was actually played by an attractive woman
