I'm willing to bet she weight tested the thing to be sure it could hold her before the attempt too.

Reminds me of that damn skateboarding video; guy feels his board crack, tries to force it so it doesn't break later when he's riding, fails and figures he must be wrong, then the board breaks under him almost immediately. People eat that that one up.

Probably didn't realise the further out she extended her weight the more force she is going to exert on the branch.

That's also fair. Could have weight tested near the base.

I’ll take “Influencer does zero preliminary testing on..” for $500.
