@ReallyNoOneAtAll 2 года назад

Useful Survival Tip: You can get out of quicksand by just laying backwards and basically floating / treading over it on your back. You have to do it pretty early on in your entrapment, but it's the concentrated weight of your upright position and the small surface area of your feet that causes the sand to sink quickly under them. By spreading out your contact area, you're less likely to sink deep and can kind of tread over it until you hit a more solid patch to grab ahold of and hoist yourself out.

@keephaven763 5 месяцев назад

🫶🏾

@paulatkins5847 3 месяца назад

Fall backwards with your arms stretched wide and your legs rigid, and there's a good chance your feet will be pulled out. Not sure if that works well with proper quicksand, but it does in muddy creeks, which most likely would have been what she was dealing with.

A man of his age shouldn't have been subjected to the stressful & dangerous environment that his own son put him in & forcefully & continuously endangered his father, repeatedly ! He may have just intended a fun vacation, but he did so in a manner that was reckless. I wasn't the only one who felt so. You know, if you kill someone by accident, you can still be charged with their death, it's just not called homocide. Heard of involuntary manslaughter ? He almost got charged accordingly.

I'd be right with you in that theory, but what keeps me holding back is that he went through it too. He was also in the water, pulled under ice shelves, etc. If they tipped over and he made it right away, he wouldn't have tracked down his dad and pulled him out with a tree branch if he was trying to kill him. Lots of variables.

@spicycurrychicken4247 3 года назад

@@rongsmith4631 That seems like a vastly inefficient way to murder your father. Why put himself in so much danger when he could have just hired a top-notch hitman. He's a doctor so he should have plenty of extra cash lying around. That fact also eliminates the seemingly most popular motive for patricide: inheritance. Also, according to MrBallen, they had a particularly great relationship. For those reasons, I do not think that he tried to kill his father.

@Animalace3 3 года назад

@@spicycurrychicken4247 Honestly, I think it more a case of just being a doctor. Due to him being so busy, he probably wasn't thinking the straightest and made a few mad calls.

@spicycurrychicken4247 3 года назад

@@Animalace3 I doubt it, they had a great relationship. Even if he was incredibly busy, as he is the kind of human that could make it through med school, he would probably put more thought into it than that. Also, in my mind it was definitely not a crime of opportunity, it was positively planned ahead of time. A mad decision is more like stabbing him after inviting him over for dinner, not booking a rafting trip to Alaska.
