Not so sure...Ive been in quicksand and its pretty quick at grabbing a hold of you with powerful suction...tough to break free.

Ditto to Donovan's: it certainly is a lot quicker than inert sand!

The origin of this word was in the archaic meaning of "quick", which meant "alive" or "living." Thus, living sand, or sand that moves.

If you were stuck in quicksand and had about a minute of life left, you would probably think it was pretty quick!

Quicksand compared to what happens when you stand on regular sand, is pretty quick.

Quicksand is the modern spelling of the Middle English word quyksond meaning living sand. So named because it moved and seemed to be alive.
