Real quicksand is a slurry of sand (dirt) in water,
so if all else fails (a rope, a branch, friends) you should be able to swim out.
But some guy got caught in a construction site (yes - they made their own quicksand ... for waste disposal purposes) and it took a score of guys plus water pumps to get him out.

How long does it take to sink in quicksand?
You don't sink below the surface of quicksand. You sink down to a certain point depending on the density of the quicksand and get stuck there, unable to get out because you can't get the traction to move. After that, if there is no one there to help you out you die of thirst. Or if you are in coastal areas affected by tide, you drown. Or the crabs start to eat you alive. But whatever happens you don't sink all the way because quicksand is heavier then you are.
