A streamer broke her back in two places at a reportedly unsafe stand at TwitchCon San Diego.

The stand, a collaboration between Lenovo and Intel, consisted of a Gladiators-style battle over a foam pit.

However, several streamers were seriously injured at the stand, including Adriana Chechik who confirmed on Twitter she'll be having surgery to recover.

"Well, I broke my back in two places and am getting surgery to put a meter rod in for support today. Send your support," the streamer and adult performer tweeted following the event.

Well, I broke my back in two places and am getting surgery to put a meter rod in for support today. Send your support. When it rains it pours and I am definitely feeling the rain right now.

A video of the incident has gone viral, shared by streamer Jake Lucky, which shows Chechik jumping off the platform into the foam pit.

"I can't get up," she says, followed by workers at the booth downplaying it saying "no no she's fine" and "she lives in the pit now". Beware the video below makes for uncomfortable viewing.

Several other streamers were also injured and hospitalised due to the stand, which attendees reportedly noted was simply not deep enough.

LockVaness dislocated a knee and sprained an ankle at the stand and has tweeted since to say "I will never be able to trust Twitch at another convention in my entire life".

Attendees said the pit remained open despite injuries, with Chechik questioning why it was open a second day. A spokesperson for Lenovo confirmed to Kotaku that the pit was later closed and that it will "work with event organisers to look into the incidents".

Eurogamer has contacted Twitch for comment.

Sounds like Twitch was trying to literally make people twitch with life threatening injuries and/or death. What a dumpster fire of a platform.

I saw the clips, it was supposed to be a pool of foam or someshit, and she dived only to land on the hard concrete beneath with no bracing (as she expected foam) and yeah Twitch fucks up again. Poor Adriana, I hope she recovers but back shit....not easy to come back from and she will sue amazon if she's smart because that's going to ruin her other career.

Kinda on the fence about the announcer; She's either not realizing what has happened, or do know what's going on but trying to downplay it for the sake of entertainment

"Meh-dic No, no, she's fine!" Da fuq?

The other girl (Eden Neville) got messed up a bit too -

“I’m the other girl in the video and a friend of Adriana. She would love to hear from other people who were injured in the same pit,” EdyBot said on Twitter in a remark suggesting the possibility of legal action. “Please message me if you know anyone else who got hurt! I fell very lightly and still felt a jolt up my back and had pain for the rest of the night.”

Don't know anyone sane enough that bothers defend Activision Blizzard at this point. Yet there will be quite a few, that will make excuses or try to act like it's not that big a deal.

Well said by the way, sir.

I sent the article to my buddy who works for Infinity Ward, along with the "Stop it, Get some help" Jordan meme too.

Not really all that surprising considering they’ve been phoning in their games for the past couple generations or so.

I’m a big fan of 2FA for account security for players but why the hell do ActiBlizz insist on implementing the absolute worst version of it? Like you have the BattleNet Authenticator. Use that you complete goons.
