Was these watching these videos the other day.
Trinidad Pitch Lake Tour Very interesting and educational I think. Depending on how deep it is, it looks like you could sink pretty easily in the large pits in the beginning and again at 17:50, and especially at 20:45.
Lake In Trinidad Has Spa-Like Effects On Your Body In this one you can actually see someone walking on the "shiny" spots, but it looks like their feet are wet, which I assume might briefly prevent the tar from adhering to your skin, and you notice they don't stop in one spot.
I think it also depends on how fresh and warm the tar is. The warmer and fresher, the more dangerous it is and likely you are to able to sink in it. The cooler and older, the safer it is to walk on, as seen in the first video.

Finally broke down and went to see a psychologist. She told me I just have an overactive imagination—and it really excited her. We're going sinking next weekend. Theo's AI Quicksandbox New stuff every weekend (unless life gets in the way)

Here is another pitch lake tour video with a couple of female tourists, who sink ankle deep:

Ya know... I was thinking. Something that would be cool to see and probably totally harmless, would be for someone to put on some loose fitting rubber boots and step into one of those fresh tar seeps. They could demonstrate how stuck you can get and much you can sink, and then just pull their feet out of the boots. That'd be neat to see.

Exactly what I had in mind. And yes, if only there was more footage, like from the beginning (and if it was a lovely lady in a bikini, it'd be perfect!

Thanks finding that and sharing!
