Feels like there used to be a lot more fiction storylines about old explosives that degraded and would detonate if you jostled them
@SwiftOnSecurity I certainly feel like I've had to deal with nitroglycerine a lot less than the media had me believing.
@ted @SwiftOnSecurity Same with quicksand

@KeefJudge @ted @SwiftOnSecurity

I did find a (small) bit of quick sand once: at a beach, a spot about 20cm in diameter where underground water was flowing up. Just big enough to put my foot in and out.

And now that I'm grown, I have to wonder what kind of water that was. Certainly a bigger risk than sinking over my head.

@ted @SwiftOnSecurity I’ve had to “stop, drop, and roll” way less then I anticipated as well. I assumed people were all either flammable or inflammable.
