This is the risky moment that a daring group of people were seen joyfully stomping on the fluid mud flats of the Yellow River, a spectacle that was as entertaining as it was alarming.

On November 18, 2024, in Zhengzhou, Henan, the video vividly depicted locals engaging in a risky yet exhilarating activity, where they continuously tread on the non-Newtonian fluid mud of the river.

The fluid mud, a fine silt brought by the waters of the Yellow River, behaved like quicksand, gripping anything that stopped moving.

Despite the fun, the mud was dangerously deceptive, capable of 'swallowing' a person if they ceased to struggle against its pull.

Netizens who viewed the video warned about the dangers of such activities, advising against casually engaging in them due to the severe risk of sinking if movement stopped.

Fortunately, the event concluded without any reported injuries, but the warnings from online commentators highlighted the dangers of such careless behavior.
