It is extremely easy to accidentally bury oneself while mining, if you aren't careful. Practice safe mining and never dig straight up and you should be fine.

[SPOILERS] This scene is very graphic - we see dirt falling onto the victim's chest and face as he struggles to keep speaking and eventually suffocates. Near the end of the film, you'll see one main character leading the other on a leash like a dog; the live burial happens right after that.

In Season 2 Episode 1, a character is forcibly buried alive. It's shown that she is scared and resisting. She is rescued and survives unhurt, but not before being completely buried. Additionally, in season 2 episode 10, there is an entire building that sinks beneath the sand with multiple characters trapped inside it. Most escape but two are left inside & implied buried forever.

This is a theme throughout the show. Characters are seen being buried, one is seen struggling to get out (we can see their hand). Characters describe what they imagine it to feel like.
