Contingency Skills of the Scrum Master

I grew up in the seventies, back when we didn't use seat belts—we barely used car seats. Riding around in the back of a pickup truck was not thought to be a dangerous activity. One of the things I miss the most about the seventies is the television programs. Maybe it’s because we only had three channels (four if you were good with aluminum foil). One of the things I remember from those programs is quicksand. I personally have never experienced quicksand, but it was everywhere on television. You’d be minding your own business, and the next thing you know you are in quicksand. As I remember things, the more you struggled, the faster you sank. You had to call for help. Somebody needed to pull you out.
