"Tool" show sinking

[nachtjaeger]

I vote for dialing the consistency in so that they can almost run across it and almost get out without help. And if you make it deep enough, maybe the ladies can almost stay above the surface.

Apparently the folks in Brazil are a little brighter than this lot since only one of them figured out how to run across it.

Practice of everyday struggle for survival?

In fact, the stuff here was too liquid. In the Brazilian shows the stuff was of various thickness, and we could see, that with more liquid stuff they can't stay on the surface, but can get out after they sink; with thicker stuff they can run on it, but once they sink - they are trapped. I vote for thicker stuff!

Well, I wish I had access to all the material shot with all the cameras I can imagine what a great moments of struggle are there.

Who is going to be the first quicksand producer to build a cornstarch pit and make some sinking videos in it???

The first one who gets a customer to donate a ridiculous amount of money for an expensive pit that lasts only one day.

Just how expensive would it be? I know I'd toss in quite a bit to see this come to fruition.

I missed this post the first time so will respond now. Duncan is quite right; the answser is when someone covers the cost. As to that, I'd estimate the cost to amount to four figures, with the first digit not a 1, 2, or 3. Aside from the corn starch itself, you'd need some heavy mixing equipment, a crew of probably three, abd then some heavy-duty disposal costs. Throw in half a dozen models and your into five figures. And all that for a shoot of one day and maybe two.

OK…. Brazil did it, not VH1 did it. Who is going to be the first quicksand producer to build a cornstarch pit and make some sinking videos in it??? Dave? Fred? Rob?

Anyone.. Bueller???
