Great looking stuff! Pity he didn't sink deeper (although he would have been in trouble if he had done!)

The Turnagain Arm quicksand demonstration begins at 21:20. It looks really inviting, but I heard that the shape of the particles of that material are such that they can lock tightly together and set like solid concrete once the water flows out of it, making it from difficult to impossible to dig yourself out before the tidal bore sweeps over you, giving that area notoriety! :shock:
I sink, therefore I WAM!!!!
