Quicksand blooper(s)

Has anyone spotted any quicksand bloopers?
For example in The Six Million Dolllar Man episode Operation Firefly Steve Austion is asked to help rescue a crashed air force pilot in Florida with the pilots daughter to help out. At one point the dauther (who happens to be wearing all white) goes ahead and winds up sinking in some quicksand. Steve finds her waist deep when he pulls her out. She's half muddy and then in the next scene not even 5 seconds later she's totally clean.
Anyone else see any?

The Sabrina episode "End of an Era" has her fairly clean freshly pulled from the quicksand - but later in the house it looks like she's covered in oatmeal.

Wasn't an air force pilot. It was a scientist developing a new kind of laser; he'd been abducted but the kidnappers had him thinking he was in their protection. Steve and the daughter were looking for him to get him out. Later, during the escape, Steve leads the kidnappers straight into quicksand to slow them down during the escape.

That was the best quicksand the show ever did out of two or three occurrences - the last one the show did was water with sawdust floating on top!!

In Tarzan’s Hidden Jungle, Vera Miles’s hair alternates between straight and permed. They must have filmed it twice and spliced scenes together.

The number of times characters escape from messy quicksand completely clean is staggering...

In the episode of The Dukes of Hazzard Coy Meets Girl where Coy finds Bobbi Lee in quicksand it becomes obvious she is sitting down with her lets out while sinking. Also at one point during the rescue it shows she's chin deep. Then it shows she's above chin deep then back to chin deep.

Also, as she steps in, her skirt (thing) is damp up to the hips from an earlier take.

Still the GOAT though, in my opinion.
