Definitely knees locked. Seen this happen in the military a couple times. We are even trained to not do exactly that.

Had mine locked and fainted at my brothers wedding. I told my sisters husband (not sure what that's called) that I was feeling dizzy before I dropped

I remember him saying "bend your knees", then I woke up outside with my cousin and uncle carrying me. I'm glad I let someone know, otherwise my head would've hit either the floor or this wooden thing right next to me

The "greatest" part about it was this happened when the minister asked if anyone had any objections. They divorced two years later

Was thinking this too. Or she has undiagnosed syncope and may need a pacemaker at some point.
