"George it doesn't seem to be doing anything!"
George-"Noyaquitetheweyinitplusthefactitlooksasiflikitmakesofuhquicksandtha"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I thought only I heard it like that
Right and British ppl wonder why we use captions when they talk😂🤣
Translation: No, you're quite a way in plus the fact it looks a fair thick mix of quicksand, that.
The fact you literally typed letter for letter what it sounded like 😂
George McCloud YOU SPEAK TRUTH
as a kid I really thought quicksand would be a much bigger problem in my life
Same
I see you're a fan of John Mulaney as well 😏
Yeah me too
Same, but after a while I forgot it exists until now.
Leanne Nicole lmao that’s what I was thinking when I clicked on this vid
"To be honest I am starting to feel a bit uncomfortable about the whole situation, so if you wouldn't mind helping me out, that would be marvelous"
THE most british way to ask someone for rescue from a danger.
🤣🤣👌🏽
😂😂🤣
The way he said it was like I'll be damned if you don't help me mate
Coast guard: nah
Aussie
him: I’m starting to feel uncomfortable
coastguard: 🧍🏻♂️🙂
The guy needs to relax
*im starting to feel a bit uncomfortable about the whole situation*
It took him til he was balls deep to realize that lol
Lol.. such a polite statement.. over here in America we would be screaming and cursing and overdramatically hyperventilating
james F ur hot
A M nicest way to say “I’m freaking the **** out!”
Armyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
How to escape quicksand
Don't stand there for 8 minutes
Momo-RoS stolen.
He was there almost for 20 minutes
him- "I've already sunk to my hips and it's only been... 8 minutes"
me- :|
Momo-RoS thank you that saved me
Momo RoS 😂
I like how he goes from being completely calm to literally shouting in the end
What would have happened if they just pulled him out by force without irrigating around him? Would be have ripped in half 😫
@@ckobo84 No, they just wouldn't have been able to get him out. It's like a Chinese Finger Trap, trying to just pull on him makes the sand around his legs cling tighter.
Flooding the sand makes it break up, so it's not all gripping onto his body as he sinks deeper.
I watched the video to know in a couple of seconds some fast and simple technique to get out of quicksand by myself, discovered you need a prepared 4 people team with equipment that no one in the world has and still he almost died
Same 😂 🐑
Saaaaame
It took him 8 minutes to sink to that point, and george's advice of laying flat probably works in the first 2. If you lay down flat and try to float the moment you see you start sinking, you should be mostly fine. The reason you sink is because your whole body weight is on your feet; by laying flat you're multiplying the area by well over a dozen times while keeping the same mass.
Exactly
yeah me too.. it was of no help at all.. I would naturally go for going flat and skimming off as best i could.. but better still dont go anywhere near if signs are around.
“I’m starting to feel a little uncomfortable about the situation now”
Such a british response
In Amerika they probably would start a 'war on quicksand'.
Classicme065069 u spelled America wrong
@@tostitomaster6433 must be the 'auto-correct' function. (I'm Dutch).
Always understated.
Haha I can assure you that we speak like this normally in the uk.
The whole time I was waiting for George to be like:
“Well you’re in too deep mate, I can’t get you out now. Bye!”
Lol
Lmao
Same
I want to see him go neck deep and george said this is what you get for cheating off me in school takes of his mask and is like a old friend of his and george leaves
@Nikola Samardžić lol ya
i remember being 6 and thinking quicksand was going to be an obstacle in my life
Along with killer bees
YES
Too much Super Mario lmfaooo
@@videogameguy101 yea Everytime I started up my Wii to play Mario bros 3, I was really paranoid lmao
another obstacle is you commenting something original
I didn't realize it would take that much force and effort to get him out. Great video.
I always bring 4 buff men, wood, and that tool with me when I'm out walking so i think I'm fine
10 big hot men..
Keeode is boring huh? 😀🕶🤏
He he
I guess that's the part he didnt know
You don't even know the name of the tool?
Natural selection dictates that if someone stands in quicksand for 8 minutes before realizing they were stuck.. It was probably their time.
yooo this is killing me 😂😂😂
Natural selection at it's best.
Its the 8 minutes for me i can stand still period. 🤷🏽♀️
Natural selection doesn’t exist among humans anymore.
@@mysteryreaver4191 it does but human have pretty much slowed it down to nothing.
this honestly made me consider quicksand to be more dangerous than I thought.
You would never stand there 8 minutes letting yourself sink. That’s what he did 😂😂😂. Nobody would do that alone
@stephenbausemer4028 you don't realize that it would just take seconds to trap your foot. Then instead of standing there your panicking and moving. Making you sink faster
@@da2hampton True but that's what people should do. They always just stand still and it takes years for them to sink. I'd love to see something more realistic like what you just described. And I'd also love to see how to help get someone out of quicksand without all the machinery!
@@Jay-el9izQuicksand is more dense than air. So the fact that you’re always breathing means your torso will always be above the sand. Plus, all you have to do is move one led out while the other is static. Then repeat the process with the other leg. Quicksand is a silly thing.
I think me and my cousins came across really slow acting quick sand. The tide was out and we wanted to get to this small island in a bay that we always wanted to explore. Half way there our feet kept getting stuck in the sand and we could pull them out but our other foot would sink faster. There was no where to stand that was solid. We ended up getting really muddy and covered in wet sand. My main concern was my parents getting mad at me for getting my clothes all covered in wet sand. ( We would lean forward on the beach or fall over cuz we lost our balance, that's how the sand got on our clothes) Anyway we gave up on the island and just returned to shore but if that sand was any looser we could have ended up in proper quick sand.
did you lose your shoes? i figurethis wouldn't be as big a problem if you're not wearing shoes, since getting dirty is the biggest concern, losing a shoe might be the second.
sounds like the sand was really wet and the island itself was weak
Plough/pluff(?) Mud maybe
Presenter: "OK I'm starting to feel a bit uncomfortable about the whole situation now"
Coastguard: 'Tell me about it. Never seen anyone get stuck like this before. TBH, I don't think there's much we can do mate''
Alright mate, it’s my lunch break right now so I think I’ll be back in about an hour. You just sit tight and enjoy the sun on your face. Beautiful day isn’t it? Nice one for a nice sandwich and tea.
🤣
Uh dude look at your likes they are cursed
🤣
Hahahah if only George had an evil sense of humor haha 😂
Good thing he was wearing a hard hat and glasses to protect him from all that quicksand.
True. Imagine if he didn’t have his steel toes on? Ouch!
Lmao jaha😂😂😂
safety is number 1 priority
🤣🤣exactly!
I can't stop laughing. 🤣🤣
0:44 John wants George to confirm he knows what he's doing. Somehow George does not sound that convincing.
"Yeah, ugh..well look after ye."
Master of understatement our George...lol
Dude really took "in the name of science" to a whole other level
I love how George avoided getting him out until he asked him to
TJ - Gamer25 George was like yeah look the circulation could stop any minute but continues just staring at him lmao

At 3 and a half minutes in, I think this statement is a strong candidate for Most British Statement Ever:
"I'm starting to feel a bit uncomfortable about the whole situation, so if you wouldn't mind getting me out, George, that'd be marvelous."
ContextEffects this 😂👏🏻
So polite those englishmen
LOL!!!
Pretty sure the British said this during WWII as the Germans were coming
Cherrio good sir
I once stepped on a patch of quicksand walking across a beach like that. It was a fair way out, too, so nobody within shouting distance, which could have gotten me into a really ugly pickle. Luckily, I had good reflexes: as soon as I felt my foot not meeting the expected resistance on the ground while taking a step, I shifted my weight to the back foot and got away without trouble. It felt a bit like missing a step, so it does wake you up to the situation and gets your reflexes going quite quickly, but I was lucky to notice the lack of firm ground while my weight was still balanced between both legs.
Sketch. I was on a beach guided tour one time, and was in the front with the guide. As I’m walking I step into quicksand, and the immediate sense of my footing being non existent was scary. Looked at the guide, she turned around and said “watch out for quicksand” 😂
3:05 the devil starts speaking through George. 😬
The old guy looked like he really wanted to let the show host sink😂😂
Haha true. This job doesnt pay me much lol.
True
😂😂😂😂
@EL Pri

I got that impression too.
It only took 8 mins? wow thats amazing. You wouldn't even be able to have enough time to react

platanom3n if you weren't so dense yourself you would understand that this a joke.
The guy in the blue has a very subtle sense of humor very few can appreciate
Just in case nobody has mentioned this and if anybody is interested .. that quaint village is called 'Arnside'. I've been there a couple of times. The village has a siren warning when the tide is coming in and if the conditions are right the siren can indicate that the Arnside Bore is approaching.
What if George just say “no” and left lmao
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He sounded like he really did wanted him gone
😭😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bruhh, why can your brain think like that
“If you wouldn’t mind getting me out George that would be marvellous”
George: who said that was included
George: You should have paid your debts
[George walks away laughing manically as the NatGeo team watches in bewildered horror]
Post Twist: George wanted to sacrifice him to the sand gods in honour of his sand-religion, as he has been doing this to other volunteers for decades and George is secretly a sand-person. No, I’m not high.
very interesting thread
@@Noah-hx9oi you are probably high let’s be honest
“Im starting to feel uncomfortable George”
George: Long Live the King
I’ve lost a boot to sand like this, but I had the sense to not stand in one spot while I marveled at how I was sinking.
Says he’s uncomfortable*
“It gets to the stage where it stops the blood flow”
Still doesn’t get him out*
To be fair he literally asked for it
@@thebigvega4415 yeah a part of me felt disappointed he didn't stay for longer. Preferably neck deep.
@@ThatGuy-ju6fe no. and it doesnt stop blood flow maybe if ure 85y old and would die to covid, then yes
@@thomasbummer4361 I didn’t say anything about blood flow I was referring to oldboy saying he should be neck deep
IKR 😅
I ran into some in the Bahamas. The first thing I did was lay flat and spread my body out. You want to get off your feet ASAP.

Got it. Thanks

They say you are never to old to learn something new, I just did, ..I thought it would've been just a few seconds before you are up to your chest, ...and when you are stuck, that it would've helped if you are laying on your back while you try to move your legs, this was insightful THANK YOU

The best way to survive quicksand, It takes 8 mins to get waist deep so just if you feel that your sinking a little bit just walk away from the quicksand...
@@lir3379 still. Unless it takes 10 seconds to sink in I would think you could escape with a bit of effort before you get that deep
@@lir3379 haha nope that is hollywood haha
Don't say that ,someone is taking it that way ,am looking for better comments in here than the video

“So, how do I get out of here?”
“Eh. Try to lay down.”
“It’s not working.”

@@threezus7740 Still like how he literally saw this guy not even trying to start floating, just leaned back lol, decided not to keep going
I can’t feel my legs
Rescue guy: yeah that will happen
LOL!
In real world situations lying down still save your life even though it won't save your legs
My buddy got his dirt bike stuck in quick sand in Moab Utah… the only thing that remained visible was the handle bars. It was both hilarious and hilarious at the same time.
imagine george started to tell him "Well im not actually a part of the coast guard or any emergency response department But remember that driver you cut off 3 months ago" 😂😂😂😂
So you can't get out on your own? Thanks!
I think if you lie down immediately (rather than wait until the situation get too dire) like what the coast guard suggested at the start, it'll help
Yeh you can
Raymen Kwint I’m not a gnoblin
Move your legs around in the quicksand to make a hole for the water, lie down on your back and backstroke out the quicksand and thats how you get out.
AlphaJumbo i saw that in another vid 😂

That’s because George wanted him dead
I sense a new workout fad. Im going to start selling quicksand pits. Helps people get fit AND helps control human overpopulation.
Great idea
Our population isn't that much.... I mean compare our population to animals.
Madara Ryuzaki
Uhh... Animals arent over harvesting the oceans, leaking oil everywhere, and generaly just making asses of themselves like we are. When a particular species overpopulates, nature corrects and reigns it in. We've neutralized most natural influences that would do that, and we're clearly not intelligent enough to curb rampant breeding on our own... So...
Actually animals overkill other animals everyday. You just don't know about it because it's in the wild. All it takes is a little common sense not to spew out garbage that you have no knowledge about other then what you find on the Internet.
+Brinton Callahan Yes you are right but most of them don't cause an extinction event,Don't believe me? check out the holocene extinction event.
2:35 George remembers he has that thing he has to go do. "Be right back."
This is so encouraging to see in case I get stuck in quicksand someday.
Lol imagine if the guys left him
Edit: I just came back 3 years later after I posted this comment and I sincerely just wanted to say to all the salty 11 year olds to go commit toaster bath

bless George, he's so sweet
Wowzers!
That went from pleasant nature documentary to horror show very quickly!
If i were that guy, i would have been more terrified of the awkwardness of not being able to do anything while waiting 8 minutes to sink with some guy who can't do anything but just slowly watch me sink.
It was even more awkward when the guy said “It eventually stops the blood flow” and he was just watching the dude sink.
I was annoyed that the so called expert didn't even explain how to get out to him, I wanted to learn that just in case.
@@teijaflink2226 bruh I honestly don't think there is a good way out of quicksand unless you have equipment

Don't get help or you sink faster

I knew of a young 15 or 16 year old lad who got trapped in quicksand on the coast near where I lived in UK. By the time the rescue services reached him it was up passed his chest. They couldn't get him out and as he could hardly breath they gave him oxygen until he was submerged. It shook me up thinking about that poor young terrified kid.
So how did they eventually get him out?
Lol I don't believe this even for a second
Well even if its not real, it did happen to someone
great story, but its actually impossible to become completely submerged in quicksand so not sure why you wrote this comment

bob kop his legs would be crushed and probably have to be amputated.
I have experienced quicksand a few times, and even though it's hard to get out of, I just can't imagine allowing myself get sucked in it until it reaches my waste. As soon as my foot is stuck I force myself out. I can't imagine doing anything else.
The problem with him tryin the lay down method is he was already waist deep. If you do this early on when ankle deep then it’s very effective.
I've been in quick sand before. I thought it was pretty fun. When I got out, the supervisor with me told me that I was actually in extreme danger . Oops
lol
HAHA NEW BEST FRIEND😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

+Quinn Leverett haha, uh not trying to act like a "hero"... I was just sharing my experience with quick sand

😂😂😂😂
lol XDD
yes :3
What!
Bruce Doyle im so scared so so scared because its dangerous
While a rather horrifying prospect to encounter irl, it's quite fascinating to watch and have what happens explained (far as I know I have seen an escape video before, pretty much what the guy said about laying down to increase your footprint, but I don't think they explained what exactly happens with the water displacement are all that)
It happened to me on a lake coast in Shikoku (Japan). There is this area of the coast that looks more like a swamp and I had to cross it to reach the other side but about half the way I was sinking in quicksand. Luckily there were some rocks nearby. It required lot of strength to reach the rocks and then pulling my legs out.
Wow!!!
Took me 8 mins to sink. It more like Dial up sand than a quick one
Lmao

Well mate, gotta run! Good luck to ya!
Panic can lead to death, but it's such a drawn out process. The way quicksand works is like a vacuum and it does take time. If you instantly sank into it super fast, then there's likely a lot of water and it would be easier to get out.

Id want to see bear grylls escape this kind of quicksand this is legit sand, the "quicksand" Bear grylls escaped from looked like pure mud and water mixed which would take longer for you to sink giving way more time to escape.
also he had some hard surface to pull himself up on.
he was not even trying
*“geOrGe iT dOesnT sEeM tO bE dOing anYthInG”*
George: emm yeah at this point tho your screwed mate
I live in a village where children go to graze the cattle, and they have to encounter such conditions during rainy seasons because the sand usually piles a lot in the river. However, only cows get stuck regularly because children have mastered how to maneuver around the quick sand by knowing risky areas.
Him: George I’m stuck how do I try to get out.
George: lay down
Him: I’m still stuck
George: yeah you are in quicksand!
i got myself into quicksand once when i was around 10, but lucky i was light and i didn't sink too deep, and i thank god that my mom buys me every book i want, which include an outdoor survival book, so i laid on my chest and pull myself out, but i lost one shoe(could have digged it out but i was so scared i couldn't run away from that place quick enough let alone digging the shoe lol). Anyway it was scary, then i told my mom about it, and nobody believes me that i pulled myself out of quicksand. All i say is that i was very light in weight, and i didn't wiggle my legs too much, cuz the more u wiggle faster you'll sink.
Even when you said you need new shoes? Haha
