1 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:05,240 Speaker 1: And Amanda gam Nation. Do you remember Brendan When we 2 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 1: were kids and you'd watch TV in the afternoon when 3 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:10,119 Speaker 1: you came home from school, maybe it was Saturday morning, 4 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: but we were terrified of one thing and one thing only, 5 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:22,759 Speaker 1: and it was this skipper. What are you doing in there? 6 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 1: They quick Sam? 7 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 2: Here? 8 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: Can you reach me? No? I can't reach you. Gil again, 9 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: you know what's happening. Yeah, you're sinking. 10 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 2: Do shut thin, don't just stand there. I'll get some mines. 11 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 2: Stay where you are, Yeah, save me? 12 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 1: Here are you? On all those shows, whether it was 13 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: Gilligan's Island or any of those sort of things, all 14 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: you'd see would be a hat floating on the top 15 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: of the sand. You think they have been taken by. 16 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,639 Speaker 2: Quicksand quick SAand was everywhere. 17 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: And then as you become an adult, you think, oh. 18 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 2: Quicksand there's no quicksand. 19 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: Well what about this. A New Zealand woman was walking 20 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: on the beach on her own, enjoying the view when 21 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 1: she began sinking into the sand. The sand became quicksand 22 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: she said, I was just going for a walk at 23 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: the beach all of a sudden, and then she posted 24 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 1: a picture of her legs completely covered in this white 25 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: sand with the caption I've just crawled out of quicksand, 26 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: so she said, I took two quick footsteps and then 27 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: I went down. And she was on her own, so 28 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 1: no one could haul her out. So what she did 29 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: was she lay on her stomach and rolled clawed her 30 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: way out of the sandy quagmire, which is apparently what 31 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: you have to do. 32 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 2: Was it wet sand or dry sand. 33 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: When she set out? It was probably damp sand, but 34 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: it somehow the chemical reaction of that sand turned it 35 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: into quicksand. And there are certain areas that are prone 36 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: to it, obviously Gilligan's Island, but parts of New Zealand 37 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: and Australia all have quicksand. And it's very hard to 38 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: pull someone straight out of quicksand. It's almost impossible. So 39 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: what they say is you need to rotate your legs 40 00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: in slow, small movements to reintroduce water into the equation, 41 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: and then once you've loosened it up, you slowly lift 42 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: your legs back up to the surface and kind of 43 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 1: swim or float along the surface to haul yourself out. 44 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 2: Lying on your back would be the way to go, 45 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 2: because you've got more mass. 46 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe that's true. They say that you won't drown 47 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: in quicksand because once you get up to the top 48 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: of your legs you pretty much stop. But you can 49 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 1: be killed in the quicksand if there's a tide coming 50 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: in and you're stuck, or you're open to predators or 51 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: exposure hyperthermia. You even have hypothermia, I guess in these areas. 52 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: But this, if you can't escape from quicksand you're in trouble, 53 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: I just having a look. Then I just googled it 54 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: and it said you know the best way to get 55 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: out of quicksand it said keep your phone charge so 56 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: you can call for help. Well, thank you. When I'm 57 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: in the Amazon, I'll remember to keep my phone charge. 58 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 2: About it enlisting an incompetent first mate, Well, Terry twing 59 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 2: hat if. 60 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: This is alarming though, we thought finally, as adults, we 61 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 1: could put our fear of quicksand aside. 62 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 2: But no, but no, Likeugy, there's nothing else in the 63 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 2: world that can scare us.
