I was expecting this.

Adriana Chechik, who has more than 3.8 million followers on Instagram and over 800,000 followers on Twitch, was one of the thousands of people in attendance at TwitchCon Saturday and Sunday in San Diego. The sold-out convention brought together streamers and fans for meetups, panels and exhibits.
One of the interactive exhibits at the sold-out convention was a booth organized by tech company Lenovo.
The booth featured foam sword battles on an elevated platform with a foam pit below. It was set up in a “Gladiator” style battle, allowing for two people to duke it out with foam weapons or fall into the foam pit below.
In a live stream, Chechik participated in one of the battles and came out victorious. In celebration of her win, she cannon-balled into the foam pit below, video showed.
The problem? The foam pit was apparently much more shallow than a standard foam pit and Chechik fell hard, tailbone first, onto the solid surface below. In the video she can be heard saying, “I can’t get up.”

“The injury was apparently not the only one suffered in the foam pit, according to NBC News. Another streamer by the name of LochVaness said she dislocated her kneecap after tumbling into the foam pit.
“Reporters from Buzzfeed visited the foam pit and described the foam blocks strewn across the exhibit as “somewhat squishy but … still rather firm.” Buzzfeed also described the depth of the pit as only about two feet, as compared to the six-foot depth recommended by a British foam pit manufacturer.”
It looked like foam cubes scattered on the hard floor rather than a pit.

Lenovo. ChiCom company.
I really hate shallow foam pits.
It’s all fun and games until somebody jumps into a foam pit...
All this crap zip-lining, bungee jumping etc. I just hate it. Utter stupidity. She was doing it all for clicks too. When did we outlaw social media it’s out of control.
I was expecting this.
What do you call a porn star with a broken back?
(I don’t know the punch line)
Very sad. Hope she gets better soon.
Somebody’s gonna get sued.
Me too!
Still garbage.

Layla?
Seriously though, I wish her a speedy recovery.
An unfortunate turn of events for somebody who makes her living on her back.
I don’t know either but now she can start a “wheelchair porn” site.
No longer mountin?
She’s lucky it was only a broken back. We had one of those indoor trampoline places in my city and a guy did a flip into a foam “pit” (it was actually an entire floor of trampolines with a layer of foam cubes on top. He landed in between two trampolines that had some sort of padded divider between them, broke his neck and died. Kids were jumping all around this dead guy for a few minutes before someone realized something was wrong.
