Well people die in the silt weekly in Alaska.
Takes this $60,000 machine to extract you and if others try to extract you the die with you.

I went to Anchorage in a ship that floated in on 50 feet of water. Tide left and the ocean liner called the Amsterdam of Holland America was just sitting on top of the silt.
It’s props are up the side, so no damage to the boat.

People use surfboards lto somehow disperse themselves over the silt to gain position, but get a leg in the silt and three hours later you die of drowning with the tide.

So that was a rare sight of what some would call stupidest surfing the tide. Others call them adventure seekers, or maybe just stoned out of their minds.
