tridents like to change direction occasionally. here's a link to a video on it:

I cannot confirm each and every way of testing but this is the way i did it:

Steps

1.Place honey block in the ground
2.Place a solid block above the honey block diagonally making sure that the solid block does not collide withe the honey block
3.Place a wooden pressue plate behind the honey block, under the solid block
4.Make sure you are facing the side closest to the honey block and throw your trident at the corners of the honey block where there is no hitbox
➡️Trident appears to bounce off the ground and stick into a wall
