Golf trick shot artist Tania Tare is known for her skill. One of her stunts, however, went viral for all the wrong reasons. A failed attempt shared on Instagram led to a dangerous fall and a flood of concerned fan reactions.

She recently shared a blooper of a failed trick shot. Little did she know that her 351K followers on Instagram would give her a reality check.

In the trick shot, Tare tried to hit a golf ball into a cup placed on the counter in front of her. But she had to do it while balancing on an exercise ball. Unfortunately, just as she connected the ball with her club, she lost balance and tumbled down. And the ball didn’t even land close to her target. 

Tare captured the fall in slow motion, and tried to make it seem as a funny blooper rather than a concerning accident. Putting up ‘Elevator’ by Beachcrimes and Tia Tia certainly helped her cause. But she furthered the humor through the caption. 

In the caption of the post, she wrote, “#2 Most Difficult: The trick wasn’t hard, but the fall was…,” followed by a melting face emoji. 

Soon after Tania Tare uploaded the video on Instagram, her followers took to the comments section with their concerns. 

Fans Express Their Concern for the Golf Trick Shot Artist

Reflecting on the dangerous fall, one fan commented, “OMG that trick would be an ER visit for me!” A chiropractitioner even claimed, “Looks like you need an adjustment after that one.” One fan wrote, “Oh my goodness hope you are okay that could have ended badly.”

Falling backwards from the exercise ball usually puts the coccyx and lower vertebrae in danger. But thankfully, Tare knew how to quickly recover from a fall. Instead of taking the damage through her hands (like most people do when they panic), Tare flared them outwards and rolled over to lessen the impact. 

One of her fans took note of that and wrote, “So lucky your butt landed first and that your wrist didn’t take the brunt of the fall. Actually looks like you know how to take a fall, as I see you placed your arm sideways not to put all your weight straight onto your wrist. Night if would up with a broken arm or tailbone had you not hand the ball! And I saw you broke your fall by rolling out of it. Some martial arts training?”

It's not her first time taking such a risk. We've seen her hit golf trick shots while snowboarding as well.

Meanwhile, a golfer named Clay Hammerich found himself in splits. He simply commented, “I’m d*****,” followed by a laughing emoji. 

The trick shot artist certainly turned the concerns into laughter. But this was only her second most difficult stunt.
