  Not to make too fine a point of it, but quicksand is relatively rare in the Bermuda Triangle. Unless it is a very watered down version of course, but that’s outside my comfort zone.

    New fear unlocked: The Bermuda Quicksand!

    Quicksand is hella rare everywhere. As a kid i feared it hard and knowing how to escape it was absolutely survival-critical knowledge.

    I have never once been anywhere even near it.

      You can make your own, it’s fun! Dig a big hole on the beach, fill it with water, then put the sand back in. It makes kind of a trap, you can’t necessarily tell there’s a hole there but if you step on it, you’ll sink right in. Don’t worry, you can get out just fine.

        I suppose there’s also the really wet sand, on the ocean floor. I don’t think it gets much more wet than that. Not sure how quick it is though. But presumably if you are stuck in that sand, then you have already endured a series of arguably less desirable circumstances.

        beaches are huge traps set by government to trap people

  Or the real danger for kids: you can be abused by the President of the usa but there never will be any repercussions

  As I understand, the number of incidents was no worse than other travel areas. Just that the Bermuda triangle is such a heavily traveled area, meaning more incidents

    That, and it’s an area prone to hurricanes.

  As I understand quicksand is only dangerous because people get stuck and can’t get out. People don’t sink in quicksand. You actually can get out all by yourself.

  I always felt like sinking mud didn’t get the attention it deserved.
