Quicksand Fans

Here's a fun question for everyone. Not long ago the question was asked "What was the most unique quicksand rescue scene in a tv show or movie?" (words to that effect).
So here's a interesting one. In a TV show or movie which would you say is the most interesting way you've seen someone wind up IN quicksand?
Like I remember when I was a kid I saw this tv show where a guy tried jumping his motorcycle over some area and landed right in some quicksand and needed to be rescued.
Who's next?

First of all, that tv show you mentioned was "Search And Rescue: The Alpha Team", where they used trained animals to rescue people. I remember that scene well, including the handlebar breaking off after he landed in the quicksand. The road came to an end, and he landed in the middle of it. Some picnickers were also surrounded by quicksand in that same general area, and couldn't find a safe passage out of the area (their picnic basket sunk into the quicksand).

Regarding other interesting ways of winding up in quicksand, one example would be in the movie "Dungeons And Dragons", where one guy stepped onto a carpet that turned out to be quicksand, and he sunk to his neck before the bad guy pulled him out with one hand.

Then, in the movie "Jumanji", the wooden floor turned into quicksand, sucking Robin Williams in up to his neck before it reverted back to a wooden floor.

Then, there is the infamous anniversary cake that Batman and Robin were posing on top of, which turned out to be quicksand, which was the Riddler's doing.

There was also a welcome mat that gave way to quicksand, and sucked a woman down in an episode of "The Addam's Family". After she disappeared, the mat covered up the quicksand again, and even Uncle Fester quickly glanced around as if he didn't know what had happened to her.

Maybe it wasn't the absolutely best QS scene, but the Lucy with Jack Benny was perhaps the most interesting and unexpected appearance of quicksand in a TV scene. I mean, quicksand to guard a bank vault - unexpected!! The sinking scene was nostalgic more than exciting - two old and talented performers, and a comic scene, at that. But given your question on this post, I think it was the most unexpected scene filmed. Good question to ask.

That was the show in question Search and Rescue The Alpha. One of the better Saturday morning shows from what I remember.
Also this just came to me. The Fantasy Island episode with the island girl doing a sinking scene. From what I remember the Devil just snapped his fingers and the quicksand magically appeared (I bet a lot of people would sell their souls to be able to make quicksand appear like that (excuse the pun but I couldn't resist))
Also I remember a show called Voyagers about these two time travellers who'd drop into a historical event to make sure things were happening the way it was suppose to be happening. In one episode they dropped right into a patch of quicksand where they got rescued by one of the people they were suppose to be helping.
