I've walked on quicksand. It held me up quite well. When I jumped up and down the whole pond would wiggle like gelatin.
I think the "speed" of quicksand must depend on the ratio of sand and water.

Typically one would sink to the waist or a little further. Right around the center gravity for a person. Quicksand is about twice as dense as water. So it's buoyancy,
Quicksand is really just muddy sand. You don't sink into mud very fast, same with quicksand.
