The thing about trust falls is they are supposed to judge someone's emotional trustability based in their physical strength. Quite frankly I think these "tests" are a bunch of B.S. designed by some body building male. And I say this based on experience. Personally I am someone who will always put another's beset interest before my own. I will sacrifice so another has even if it means I have not. I'll do this for a complete stranger but the better I know someone the more passionately I will sacrifice.
Yet I still managed to fail the trust fall. That's right... I failed it. How you might wonder, it's just catching someone. How do you fail that? Well.... I dropped the person. I wanted with everything in me to catch them. I dove and put myself below them to catch their head. But there was just no physical way I could actually stop them from falling to the ground. I didn't have the strength to leverage them at the angle and distance I was forced to stand at.
And that is why trust falls are a bunch of B.S. Your physical strength is in no way related to you emotional strength and resolution. And that is what trust really comes from. Emotions and character, not muscle.
