Although the doctors we spoke to did not have access to the streamer’s medical records and had limited information, they analysed her jump into the foam pit and public statements about the care she’s been receiving to try to paint a picture of what might have happened.
Gizmodo spoke to three spine surgeons to get a better idea of Chechik’s injury. Lawyers that assessed the public information available about the incident said there could be a potential negligence case against Twitch, Lenovo, and any other company or individual involved in setting up the foam pit. They said it’s possible she will require physical therapy and in-hospital rehabilitation. Upon reviewing video of Chechik’s injury and analysing available public information, two doctors that spoke to Gizmodo said that her injury is likely serious.
Gizmodo also reached out to the San Diego Convention Centre to ask about Chechik’s injury in the foam pit and whether it had been in touch with her but did not receive a response. Tag one creator you think you could beat in our #TeamLegion Face Off challenge at 👇 /ilq2jWjgYY- Lenovo Legion October 8, 2022 Intel told Gizmodo on Thursday that it had no comment and referred us to Lenovo. It has not responded to repeated requests for comment since then, even those inquiring about whether Intel was a cosponsor of its TwitchCon booth and foam pit, given that its logo was clearly visible. Lenovo, meanwhile, told Gizmodo on Monday that it was aware that some streamers sustained injuries in the foam pit at TwitchCon and that it was looking into the incidents with event organisers. Our most recent request for comment on Thursday did not receive a response from Twitch at all. Gizmodo reached out to Twitch multiple times for comment on Chechik’s case and other reported injuries in the foam pit this week but was either referred to Lenovo or told that the company was not commenting on the incident. “I get not talking about it publicly incident wise but saying no nice words to me so far is kinda fucked up.” “I find it odd that no one from any of the convention centre the booth or twitch has even had well wishes or said anything,” Chechik tweeted after she got out of a five-and-a-half hour surgey. On Wednesday, the streamer revealed that no one from Twitch, the convention centre where TwitchCon was hosted, or Lenovo, the company that sponsored the booth with the foam pit, had gotten in touch with her - not even to simply wish her a quick recovery. While not commenting on Chechik’s injuries publicly is somewhat understandable - lawyers that spoke to Gizmodo about the case said it wasn’t surprising - what seems striking and heartless is that the streaming platform has not even reached out to Chechik privately. mcK6ArFOCB- adriana chechik October 14, 2022 It was so exhausting I have slept all day since. I passed out after I brushed my teeth and had to be carried back but baby got her dancing shoes. The streaming platform has spent recent days highlighting good times at its signature conference on its social media channels, refusing to answer questions related to the foam pit or offer comment on the condition of Adriana Chechik, the streamer and adult performer who broke her back in two places and had a five-hour surgery this week to treat it. You would never know that something horrible happened at the foam pit at TwitchCon this past weekend if you simply followed Twitch’s official pages.
