And yet, hollywood and tv style quicksand pits can be plausibly created by digging a large hole, then putting most of the dirt back in, then waiting a year or two for it to fill up with rainwater. Like a mining sample dig, or a radar-detected precise archeology excavation. Rarity had gem-detecting unicorn powers, would it fit for her to spend her time digging up ditches and pits and forgetting about them after they're filled in?
If you're sinking, you're going to react to that situation as that situation. You won't know when or if you can reach the bottom of the quicksand before you run out of tallness.
