Honestly, you don't if you have a lick of sense. Quicksand is much denser than the human body, and a person who keeps their head will float in it. It is, however, possible to get stuck in it, since it can be kind of sticky, and it's usually difficult for a person who manages to fall into it to get out without help.

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.
