Twitch streamer Adriana Chechik breaks her back twice in a foam pit. The foam pit was so big and had no floor that the streamer had to jump into it. The foam was around one foot deep and had an unsettling effect on the streamer. Despite the pain she was feeling, the streamer tried to get up, but her back broke in two places. She eventually realized the severity of her injuries and sought medical attention. While the incident was unfortunate, it has raised questions about the safety of foam pits.
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.
