In the video, she says that the reason she set up her phone was "to record a video of me on the inversion table and just saying how much I love it for my low back, especially when I’m going to the gym at 3 a.m. and my back is really stiff and doesn’t want to wake up." As she flaps while hanging upside down, she makes an attempt to crunch and make her way up the leg clamps but is unable to. The incident could have turned south quickly as anybody else who was in the gym was in other rooms and was unaware of Fauld's condition. Thanks to her smartwatch, she was able to call 911 and get herself out of this situation.

The upside-down influencer revealed how the gym staff was unavailable as well and the members could just scan their key cards and avail the services of the gym. She says in the video, "There’s only one person at the gym and I got stuck in, you know that backboard thing. I’m stuck in this reverse, like, back decompression thing." While talking to the dispatcher she says, "I think the thing went too far and I just got stuck upside-down and cannot get myself right side up. I’m trying to get my buddy’s attention but he’s in the other room lifting. I’m sorry, I’m just stuck.”
In total, Faulds had to see the world from a different angle for 12 minutes before the police arrived and helped the gymgoer in distress. The viral TikTok video, with over 7 million views, shows the help freeing her from her spine-decompressing dungeon. Luckily she wasn't injured in any way or form. But she does talk about the whole TikTok experience that has been tiring saying it was "so overwhelming and I just need a mental break."
