A content creator broke her ankle after attempting a ‘dangerous’ viral TikTok trend, leaving her screaming in pain.

Emily Webb, an Australian influencer with more than 172,000 Instagram followers, was standing in the middle of the street when a car hit her, breaking her ankle and leaving her in excruciating pain.

The incident was the result of a dangerous online trend. On TikTok, the “trust him trend” features videos with millions of views of women risking their safety to prove their trust in their male partners.

In these videos, women stand in the middle of the road while their boyfriends drive toward them at full speed or slower, intending to brake just in time. The women often caption their messages with phrases like “I can confidently say I trust you” or “trust him with my life.”

The single Aussie decided to try out the trend herself and enlisted a male friend to join her. In the clip posted to her TikTok and Instagram pages, she stands confidently in the middle of the road.

Her driver has to stop in time, as men in other videos had done. However, he did not brake quickly enough and the car collided with Emily, causing her to wince in pain. “Stop! Stand back!” she shouted.

The driver quickly reversed, but the damage had already been done. Her leg was trapped under the car for a while, causing her serious injuries as a result of the failed attempt at the trend, news.com.au reports.

According to the outlet, the content creator is now facing a lengthy recovery process, but is relieved that this will not have a major impact on her work as she is self-employed and can set her own schedule.

TikTok users have had mixed reactions to the trend, with some labeling it ‘dangerous’ while others feared their attempt could lead to their boyfriends ‘accidentally’ running them over.

This is just one of many controversial trends that have emerged on the app, alongside ‘chroming’, the Blackout Challenge and the ‘sungazing’ craze.
