Subject of "triggering" in this sentence?
Hi~
In the following sentence below, I don't understand the structure of the phrase underlined in grammar.
What could be the subject of the act of "triggering"?
Could it be "you", the subject of the previous clause? Or any other things like, it(=the branch) or a snake?
If you have any ideas about this please let me know.
Thank you in advance~!

If farther along the trail you notice a dark, slender, curved branch on the ground, an object you would normally ignore, you might now momentarily be likely to view it as a snake, triggering a feeling of fear.
