разъезжались под ногами
Russian to English

Poetry & Literature
Когда кто-нибудь поворачивал назад, в один миг исчезали перила моста, а доски становились узкими и разъезжались под ногами.
Dear colleagues!
Речь идет о колдовском мосте, который не позволяет путнику повернуть назад - только вперед, до победы.
Затрудняюсь с этим "разъезжаться" - please advise!

slid apart under their feet
Maybe: the planks slid away from each other

Certainly possible, but "sliding" makes the movement sound less stable and less predictable.
