Do you know what a person should do if they become stuck in quicksand?

That’s a difficult question.  It depends on where the quicksand is, where the person is, and the state of their equipment.  Also, the physical properties of the quicksand must be taken into account.  What kind of quicksand?  Are there ropes or trees nearby?

There are no ropes or trees to help. What should I do if I am stuck?

It’s not obvious from the phrasing of the question what you mean by “stuck”. If it means that your legs are stuck and you can’t pull yourself out, then you should try to avoid panic.  An immediate response is to move your body in any way that might free your legs, but if it is just your legs that are stuck, then that probably won’t help, and it might hurt you.  So, instead, you might try squirming around on your back, moving your hips so that your upper body moves and your legs stay.

Is quicksand usually very deep or is it shallow?
