i believe it follows similar laws as water and buoyancy. you slow/stop sinking once the displaced water/force is greater than whats above the sand. Similar to deep eater, panicking only allows you to sink more.

Most quicksand probably isn’t that deep, so you’ll end up standing on a more solid layer

Exactly. I doubt there is a 2m deep pit of quicksand I need to be worried about
