I was hiking Pariah Canyon in Utah with some friends. It’s a desert climate with very fine sand that makes weird, sticky mud. So I stepped on what I thought was a sand bar under about an inch of water and immediately sunk to mid-thigh. A couple seconds later it was up to my waist.

My friend yelled at me to lay forward on my stomach and basically doggy-paddle towards him where he could help me up onto a rock — sounds like it could be the swim method.

I remember movies and cartoons from when I was a kid — people and cartoon characters always falling in haha. Always making a mental note of how they got out, you know, just in case!

Really??? Where? Was it an Indiana jones set? Did you use the ‘swim’ method to get out ?!? I have never heard of this happening to anyone in real life - I’m now re-instating it in the ‘things that be scared of’ - right under atom bombs
