Another point of contention regarding quicksand is its place in nature. What is the point of its existence? Quicksand can be prevented through the pollution of land, unlike natural disasters, which are only worsened by pollution. As quicksand is more of an anomaly of nature that isn't inherently harmful outside of pop culture, or something that we're a cause of outside of how we can die from it, I would put it a bit higher than a five.
