Well if it was all like it is on tv, sawdust on top of a puddle of water, it would not be too dangerous.

We were scared of it when we were kids. Not sure we actually have it in this area but we do have sucking mud. Been stuck up to my waist and was alone. Scared me pretty bad because I could not get out. It is possible to get out if you have slip on boots. Good luck finding them again though.

Neighbor kid put my uncle's H into real quick sand (under ground water flow part of the year) it stopped on the clay bottom just above the platform. My uncle made him go hook up a chain to the drawbar, so we could pull it out with the 400. He was sandy for about a week. Jim

In the Mining Industry it's called "Fluid Ground" , and it's pretty scary stuff when you're a thousand feet underground and break into it.

Where and in what kind of mining is fluid ground found?

Dr. Walt · Nov 25, 2018

Richard - Non-Metal Mine, 1000 ft. beneath Furnace Creek Wash in Death Valley,CA . When I worked for American Borate Co. at the Billie Mine occasionally our large Twin-Boom Continuous Miner (AKA: Roadheader) would hit into a pocket of it. The mineral we were mining is Colemanite which is formed by hot mineralized waters. No problem for the big, heavy Roadheader; but if you were standing near or behind the Roadheader you'd get hit by a wave of the stuff. Fortunately those occurances were few and far between. The "nice" part about those occurances was the pockets would be full of huge, almost pure, Colemanite Crystals.
