This blew my mind when I found out last year, maybe two years ago? I'm 40, and only just found out a year or two ago that you won't naturally submerge in quicksand. I understand why media does it for dramatic effect, like fictional vent shafts people can crawl through, but it still blew my mind lol.
@@KleinesSteinnot even your neck as far as I understand. Displacement creates a balance that will not let you sink below waist/chest height. So as long as the tide isn't higher than your chin, you can live a few days while help searches for you, or until you figure out an escape.
Almost every half serious look at it basically states "you really have to want it to even come close to be harmed by it" When the Simpsons is the most accurate media portrayal of something ("and now I'll just reach in with my face and pull my leg free..."), you know its danger is overhyped.
The real danger isn’t drowning, because you will float easier than water because mud is denser. The real danger is hypothermia because the mud can draw heat from your body quickly, even in tropical climates. The ground is alway cold, just like sleeping on the ground at night can cause hypothermia.
Truth is the actress deserves an award, she acted exactly as I would expect ex to do. Even the last part when she left the guy up to his neck dealing with her cra….. I mean good vídeo

I actually experienced quick sand once. It was in some sand dunes about a mile from my back yard when I was younger. I sank into my knees before my friend quit laughing and pulled me out. Good times
*How to beat quicksand:* Relax and lie on your back. You’ll float up to the surface and all the way to solid ground. Remember that quicksand is a liquid even though it looks like a solid. If you’re in quicksand, don’t struggle. Struggling will make you sink faster.
@@CloverQuinn Just lay down slowly. Quicksand may look like a solid, but it’s actually a liquid. You’re not being sucked under. You’re just sinking. Relaxing and lying on your back will help you float to the surface. Whatever you do, do not struggle. Struggling will not get you out. It will only make you sink faster.
It's how I got out the first time. Second time I wound up losing a boot cuz it got stuck under an obscured root. Thankfully I didn't have to experience bullet ants like these poor saps in the movie.
The snake is a red tail boa/common boa with a light color morph, at least it's in the right region this time. It's still not venoms just a constrictor, most movies will use these snakes as they are big, easy to find, and easy to handle. I don't find them scary they are really sweet as pets.
Infection from a Nonvenomous snake bite is not even in the top 5 biggest problems you’d have while stuck shoulder deep in quicksand, dehydration would kill you way quicker, and if you choose to drink the quicksand water, those parasites would also kill you before an infected boa bite. So it’s not even worth worrying about
I came here to say this too! It's a Colombian Red Tail boa. I have two and they're the sweetest things. I take them with me places and people love petting them.
I don’t think I could watch this movie without being frustrated vs my usual entertained. I’ve seen so many quicksand safety things that I just wanted them to lean back and very slowly wiggle, but that wouldn’t make an entertaining movie… Great video, thanks for the efforts.
I love how this guy delivers every line, especially when he’s telling jokes while people are dying in the background. Underrated channel. Keep up the good work🗣️🗣️🗣️
i’ve been subbed for like three or four years but i just came back last month after two years of not watching and man i’ve been falling back in love with these videos
It is a Boa constrictor. Absoutely harmless. Maximally 4.5m. But dependent on subspecies & local form. Pythons are old world snakes. Only Loxocemus bicolor occurs in the Neotropics. And a Boa constrictor is live-bearing (ovo-viviparous; lecitotrophic viviparity). It bears living young surrounded by an egg sack & nourished via dodder.
As a reptile guy, snakes in movies INFURIATE ME lol. One of the movie posters even has the actress covered in ball pythons like they’re supposed to be dangerous lmao
I’m guessing that for filming purposes they use non-venomous snakes for safety, but act as if they are dangerous since most viewers wouldn’t know the difference.
@@TalentCaldwell It's still pretty shitty quality, since you could in post attempt to cgi over them, or simply make them off full cgi / practical effects, instead of pretending that Venomous snakes will strangle you to death and vice-versa. The most infuriating are situations like in this example, in which, for some inexplicable, god-hated reason, the snake is a poisonous one THAT ALSO CONSTRICTS.
Man, gets on him for sneaking the vodka and no food (which was IN the backpack). Upsets a venomous snake, causing it to bite him, when it was probably NOT going to attack them at all. Gets annoyed with him for coming in after him. Says they should never have gotten married... You know what? He wouldn't have been here in quicksand dying of a snakebite.
@@atomaraffetrue. I actually did like that "How To Beat" channel at first (especially when he covered anime/live action type stuff)...but when i started hearing/seeing other narrators on that channel, i lost interest fast. Idk i guess i didn't like their delivery as much as the 1st guy. 🤷🏼♀️ Have always liked Nerd Explains, though!
@@hatake1990well how to beat does that viewer bias where most of his solutions can only be thought of if you've watched the movie and are well prepared ahead of time.
The snake is just a boa constrictor, not venomous at all. Moreover, one would NEVER just go up and bite someone for shits and giggles. He’d be just as likely to spontaneously burst into flames.
I need to say some things about my frustration with this movie: I love how the narrator is calling out both characters BS, but I cannot forgive the movie for so blatantly getting snake species/anatomy wrong. The snake in the movie is a boa constrictor, It's non-venomous and the way it kills is in the name, additionally unlike pythons boas give birth to live young which makes the fact the movie didn't use a bush master even more infuriating because bush master's are the only kind of new world pit vipers that lay eggs!
I swear. All Millennial 90s kids are terrified of quicksand. Did it just appear especially often in our cartoons & films? We all were so ready to come across it at any time any place & defeat it.
Yeah, before you got to it, I thought most likely your first step in is where the pit starts, so take a wide circle around to get behind her and start working from there to grab her
This dude really jumped into quicksand to save his girl after she, A DOCTOR, started flailing around like an infant. Then she gets on his ass for saving her, gets on his ass for having the sting saving vodka, and then says they shouldn't have ever been married. At what point do I get to root for his safety and not hers?
Personally if my radioactive ex wife got stuck and drowned in a mog pit.....I'm just sayin that is a sign from god for an easy divorce. Rip kids your mom got in an accident
I mean honestly when she threw a tantrum and sunk I'd probably have left as she was clearly intent on either killing herself or just killing him with her, either way you don't want to get involved in that.
I went to colombia twice. Never ever did i think about renting a vehicle. Driving in Bogota is a nightmare and there are thousands of taxis. I was there for 4 days each time and i probably only spent $80 in taxi fares. So the most unbelievable part of this movie is that they rented a vehicle. Why would they need too?
Maybe quicksand was supposed to be a metaphor for toxic, abusive relationships. If that's the case then those old cartoons were MASSIVELY relevant to my adult experience...
Wait... How the ef you know I was trapped in quicksand rn? 💀🤔 like just glad I could watch this before I drown, like just sad I watched this too late to help 😶 - Well at least it's warm 😅
I might agree with the movied-based therapy bit if I didn't know about Cinema Therapy. A therapist that likes movies and a director that needs therapy, watching movies!
What it's supposed to be and what it is are different. That's a red tail boa. Looks like a pastel variation but yeah kids can play with red tails. Very sweet snakes
There was a mythbusters about quicksand, the mix they always cite (sand and water) actually isn't that dangerous, IIRC it was actually making people buoyant and having the opposite effect.
Normally I express gratitude for SFW captions on videos including extreme violence, drug use, sexual content, etc, but this movie has... bitter spouses? I mean, thanks for the SFW captions anyway, but this video is pretty inoffensive in and of itself.
Who in their right minds is gonna walk through a big ass Forrest when you're most definitely going to get lost. And you can't see shit for miles cuz the air is a bastard. No thank
im ngl i hate Sofia so much, it just seems like she will do everything just to NOT listen to Josh and berates him at every goddamn opportunity possible jesus christ
The easiest way to escape quicksand is to discard anything heavy on your person even if meaningful to you and then try to swim on your back with your mouth and nose up in order to breath until far out enough to get out of the quicksand
I thought it was obvious what you do in quicksand. You just get on your back very slowly, and pull yourself gently out. By getting on your back, your weight is distributed much wider, making it much easier to avoid sinking further.
Why do they always do that in movies!?!? I mean if someone attacks me and my wife, threatens us with a gun and all around shows complete disregard for human life, yet I am able to find an opening and land a strike that’s sufficient enough to knock our assailant down, we’re taking turns stomping his ass until we can’t lift our legs anymore, at which point we’ll tie him to the trailer hitch and drag him to the police station (and we’ll take the scenic route, not the shortest one)… Seriously though, if you’re in a fight for your life and you manage to get an advantage, you’re an idiot if you don’t leverage said advantage to its fullest potential! You NEVER stop after a single strike!!! You strike, strike again, strike some more and then strike again. You keep striking until your assailant stops fighting
i remember my cousins falling in quicksand and he panicked and weirdly before he panicked he wasnt even going in but that movement slowly covered his feet but i told him shut up stop crying i grabbed his arm and pulled him out because he manage to get it up his knees idk how that was even possible but people for once listen to nerd explain dont do all that bullshit panicking
Sofia flailing like a child having a tantrum and damn near dooming herself was rather unintentionally funny.

I was literally coming here to say that, seriously the bit at 6:55 where he calls it terrifying while that happens made me laugh.
She deserved to die so many times
At that point I would’ve cut my losses and left and then told someone what happened once I’m found.
