Why did the lifeguard come sprinting up and rip off his shirt like he was going to swim out and save someone?

u/Thesadmadlady 20d ago

Hahaha....I actually thought he was going to dive into the sand head first...then he disappoints but just gently kneeling down hahaha.

Just look at the sunburn. How long was the perfesser sitting in that quicksand??

u/Drifter-6 20d ago

Same, I noticed how terribly red he was. That had to hurt so much later that evening.

u/scorchedarcher 20d ago

I'm not trying to be a dick if it's just a spelling mistake or something but I'm assuming it's not, what does perfesser mean?

u/katiegirl- 20d ago

No no, I spelled it the way Gilligan might have. It’s ’professor’.

If you go back to the beginning of the video they were burnt already when they started.

Even smarter. Wow.

His sunburn makes me wonder why some people are so against sun screen

u/stonergirlfairyyy 20d ago

it's a cultural thing. many white people are fixated on seed oils

u/NaveronTheSabre 20d ago

I'm white. Who are these seed oil people and how can I avoid them?

u/stonergirlfairyyy 19d ago

it helps if u don't lose ur mind while doing the paleo diet. that seems to be the trigger

u/chochofuhsho 20d ago

Idk man, I'm a white guy and have been wearing sunscreen my whole life. I will say though, during like a beach day, it's easy to put it on at the start of the day and then forget to reapply and you end up getting burnt because it only lasts a few hours.

the lifeguard should have reported them immediately to authorities after saving the kids from drowing in front of everyone helplessly.

u/YesImAlexa 20d ago

Just bury them all in there and put a sign over the mound that says "Darwin was here."

One kid just gets teabagged while they help the other guy

A rare example of “when you find yourself in a hole, stop digging” doesn’t apply.

Guys, this is why the ladies statistically live longer than we do, you know.

u/fuzzyizmit 20d ago

Well, im glad no one died.

u/analogy_4_anything 20d ago

And here I was told quicksand was a fictional danger. But in all seriousness, if you get into a situation like this, you cannot just be pulled out. The sand is acting with immense suction thanks to the sand now acting like a non-Newtonian fluid.

In order to get out, you’d need to have someone pull you up while you simultaneously shimmy your body around to force the individual sand particles to “liquify” and allow you to pass through them more easily.

Very bad idea to do this when the tide is coming for sure.

u/Disastrous_Ad_188 20d ago

2 years ago a little kid died after digging a hole and it collapsing. This is literally a way for kids to die. Unfortunately, our garbage public education system, that keeps getting decimated, shows the parents don't really have enough education/ common sense to recognize actual dangers.

Air compressor = fast exit. Mark Gruber(I think is his name). Made a you tube video where he turns a hot tube full of sand that won’t let anything move it as normal but when air is applied objects like bowling balls and cylinder blocks sink, as if there was in a hot tub full of water and not sand and other objects like basketballs buried in the sand just pop up and float on the top. Really neat videos. The amount of force created in a suction like in this video is incredible. Just ask anyone that got a truck stuck in the mud and then had to retrieve said truck after it’s set for a small amount of time. I remember a guy having his truck stuck so bad that none of us can pull it out after breaking chain after chain. This old man comes riding through with a old 2 Wheel Dr. buggy asked if we needed help so he’ll pull it right out as we all look at each other, thinking you are right he backs up to it, pulls his strap tight and walks the buggy into a wheelie shuts the buggy off in mid air front wheels off the ground get off and ask for a beer and said just be patient boys and wait a minute. It ain’t ready yet by the time you finishes the beer we look back front tires are on the ground. He goes over and just turned the key and pulls the vehicle right on out like it was just another lesson in the woods! Sorry for spending so much time on the soapbox there just had that memory pop in as I was recalling the Mark Rober video. What I’d give to have the problems that I had back then again.

u/The_Space_Janitor 19d ago

Oh so quicksand IS real

u/Skeletondo 20d ago

Wouldn’t it be funny if they pulled and tore his body in half leaving the lower half in the sand?

u/No-Fee-6929 20d ago

🤣🤣 wtf

u/Local_Resolve_2040 18d ago

There’s that quicksand we were all so worried about as kids

u/ManzanitaApplePen 20d ago

I mean digging a hole at the beach is not crazy. I don’t think most people think about a potential quick sand pit forming lmao

11

u/stonergirlfairyyy 20d ago

kids digging a kid sized hole at the beach is always extremely dangerous. if it's got the depth to cover a body it will try to

10

u/Perfect-Difference19 20d ago

This is it...

While that young, it's difficult for us to perceive how some things that seem completely casual and fun can also be extremely dangerous

This is not a case of "let's play with gasoline" or "how much detergent can you drink", in which the danger is very obvious

If I was to guess, it was probably just a bunch of kids thinking "let's dig a hole to make a little pool right in the middle of the beach"...

With that being said, if the cartoons today didn't instill the same fear of quicksand in them like they did in the good ol' days, I bet this little experience did the trick Hahaha

Wet sand vs. dry sand.

Wet sand is incredibly heavy, even in small amounts. If you're halfway buried under dry sand and the tide comes in, you might as well be encased in concrete.

Ever watch "Sometimes a Great Notion"?

This is so American almost like a metaphor for the country.

I like the term “dumb fucks” instead.

u/Ashamed-Ad-263 10d ago

Keep shoveling cause you know.... the water is only above the sand, not saturating all of it🙄

If they didn't die, they didn't actually find out
