Influencer fractures her ankle after attempting ‘dangerous’ TikTok trend

As a concerned onlooker and long-time observer of social media trends, I can’t help but feel a mix of dismay and frustration upon learning about Emily Webb’s harrowing ordeal. As an influencer with a significant following, she holds a certain level of responsibility towards her fans, especially when it comes to the content she chooses to share.


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

In the heart of a bustling street, Emily Webb, a popular Australian social media figure boasting more than 172,000 Instagram fans, was hit by a vehicle. The impact resulted in a broken ankle for Emily, causing intense discomfort.

As a gamer, I’ve found myself questioning a concerning viral trend on TikTok – the ‘trust me challenge’. This trend features countless videos, amassing millions of views, where females are compromising their safety to demonstrate faith in their significant others. It’s a chilling trend that has alarmingly become popular online.

In these videos, ladies are shown standing in the middle of the road as their partners approach, sometimes driving fast and other times slower, with the purpose of braking before reaching them. These women frequently write captions such as “it’s clear I have faith in you” or “I put my life in his hands.

On her own, an Australian woman chose to participate in the popular craze, inviting a male companion along. In a video shared on her TikTok and Instagram accounts, she can be seen boldly standing in the center of the street.

In a similar scenario shown in other videos, it was expected that the driver would bring the vehicle to a halt in time. Regrettably, he didn’t manage to apply the brakes promptly enough, leading to a collision with Emily. This unexpected impact left Emily grimacing in discomfort. “Stop! Reverse!” she exclaimed.

The driver quickly reversed, but the damage was already done. Her leg was trapped under the car for a moment, leaving her seriously injured due to the failed attempt at the trend, as reported by news.com.au.

Based on the report, the content creator is currently undergoing a prolonged healing period. However, she’s comforted because her self-employment status allows her to manage her own timetable, meaning this recovery process shouldn’t significantly disrupt her work.

Users on TikTok have shown a range of opinions towards this trend, with some expressing concern about its potential danger, and others fearing the possibility of their partners unintentionally hitting them with a vehicle while trying it.

Among the numerous debated tendencies appearing on this platform, this particular one joins others like ‘chroming,’ the Blackout Challenge, and the recent craze of ‘sun gazing.’
