She broke her back in two places when she jumped in a foam pit. In a brutal video that is painful to watch, streamer and adult performer Adriana Chechik happily jumps into the pit but then begins to suffer in pain after she lands. She told her followers on social media that she will have a rod inserted into her back to support her. I broke my back in two places and am going to have a rod put in for support. You can send your support. I am definitely feeling the rain at the moment. According to reports from media outlets at the convention, the foam pit was not set up and did not belong to the website, but was part of a booth that was promoting a gaming PC. The booth hostedgladiator tournaments where participants stood on a plank and tried to knock their opponent down with a purple weapon. Both outlets stated that the pit was filled with foam blocks that were firm. The foam blocks were spread out differently in the pit, with some areas being as shallow as two feet. There was a mat on the floor. The picture of the pit was shared by Mr.Protocol on the social networking site. Gizmodo reached out to twitch for comment on the incident. The platform didn't want us to say anything and told us to call the booth. Intel's sign on the booth can be seen, but it's not clear if the booth is also sponsored by the company. The foam booth incidents were brought to the attention of the company by Gizmodo and they were looking into them.
The gladiator game soft foam pit at the Lenovo booth has been the scene of injuries to people who visited it. We are working with event organizers to investigate the incidents.
On Sunday, Gizmodo reached out to Intel but did not hear back.
There doesn't seem to be a consensus on whether people can dive in the pit or not. According to other participants, they were told not to dive into the pit. The Washington Post reported that participants were required to sign waivers acknowledging the possibility of physical harm.
One of the streaming hosts said that you could do a pit dive from the Street Fighter booth. The developer of StreetFighter 6 was present at the booth when he mentioned it.
Why didLenovoLegion tell you to dive in? She wrote that they opened the pit a second day after the first person injured their foot and ankle. They kept the pit open after multiple people were injured.
The pit was open on Sunday despite other people getting injured. She was joined by a lot of people on social media who were angry at the two companies. How could a foam pit be allowed at a convention?
An update about her condition was posted on Monday. It is not known if she has had her surgery or who will pay for it.
I felt like I was dying last night. She wrote that this is going to be a bad thing.
Chechik is correct about not being the only one who got hurt. EdyBot, one of the streamers that appeared with her in the video, said that she felt a pain in her back after falling into the foam pit.
Loch Vaness was hurt more seriously in the foam pit. She said that she injured her ankle and knee in the foam pit and had to be hospitalized. She got hurt when she jumped off the plank into the pit.
While the booth was sponsored by a company, Loch Vaness said that she had lost her trust in the streaming service.
I will never be able to trustwitch at any other convention in my life.
There is a new update at 12:1 p.m. The post has been updated with more comments from the company.
