She only learned afterward that other participants had also been injured, Chechik stated.
How was I supposed to know that I would be the one to break my back after watching a group of people do the same thing? Not knowing that two people had been injured the day before? So don’t blame me, because I’m the victim here. Right? I was at an event, and the last thing I would think is: “Hey, this pit is not set up properly.” No! I said: “Hey, I’m ready to look for my friend and throw her off this platform.” That’s all I thought. I didn’t think beyond that.
Twitch colleague Asmongold advises to sue
What does Asmongold say? Chechik receives support not only from her fans but also from some other influencers. The well-known MMORPG streamer Asmongold had already reacted to the revelation of her pregnancy a few days ago.
His first reaction was a shocked exclamation: “That’s just damn awful.” The streamer believes it is unfair to hold Chechik responsible for the situation:
I don’t think it’s fair to criticize someone for something they did or didn’t do… she wouldn’t have been injured if it hadn’t been grossly negligent… of course, people can be particularly careful, but is it really her fault that she wasn’t particularly careful? It’s their fault [the organizers] because they didn’t follow the safety protocol.
Asmongold also has a suspicion as to why people are trying to blame Chechik for her accident: These people probably dislike her because of her past as an adult film actress, according to the streamer.
For Asmongold, the case is evidently clear: “As I said, I think she should sue Twitch.” This advice can also be found in numerous comments on the topic.
It remains unclear whether the responsibility lies more with Twitch, the organizer of the convention, or with Lenovo, the organizer of the event. Both parties have not yet commented on the situation.
What legal steps Adriana Chechik will take or has already taken is not yet known.

Amouranth finally does her own thing on Twitch and is more successful than ever
The streamer Adriana Chechik (30) broke her back in two places at TwitchCon in San Diego on 10/09 when she jumped from a PR attraction of Lenovo Legion into a foam pit. Since the end of October, she has been back on Twitch, and now she gave her viewers an update on her health condition.
What kind of accident happened at TwitchCon?
- Lenovo Legion hosted an event at TwitchCon where Twitch streamers were supposed to push each other into a foam pit.
- It went horribly wrong when Adriana Chechik won her match and joyfully jumped into the foam-filled pit: She broke her back in two places.
- In the hospital, Adriana Chechik additionally learned that she had been pregnant at the time of the accident. In a comeback stream on October 29 she explained that she could not keep the child due to the surgeries following the accident.
Since her return to Twitch, Chechik has been hosting more frequent, typically shorter streams. Now she brought her viewers up to date, defended herself against accusations – and showed her physical therapy in the stream.
“I’m already tired from this”
What is the current status? In a stream on November 7, Chechik updated her viewers on her current condition. She showed the harsh reality after a serious injury: Chechik appeared in her orthopedic corset and jogging pants, took a short break to do some physical therapy.
While Chechik was leaning against the wall with one hand, she turned to her viewers and explained: “I’m tired from this. It’s just that, I’m already tired from this.”
How is Chechik doing? After about 15 minutes in the stream, Chechik revealed that she had a numbness in her right leg. Apparently, she will still have to undergo further surgeries, an appointment with her neurosurgeon in LA is supposed to take place later this week.
How is Chechik’s streaming comeback being received? Many viewers are impressed by Chechik’s bravery and wish her a speedy recovery. Journalist Jake Lucky also shared clips from her stream and wrote that one must admire the “grind.”
But not all reactions are so positive: On Twitter, there are also derogatory comments that do not want to recognize it as an achievement to “sit in your chair,” accusing Chechik of exploiting her accident for attention.
Some viewers of the streamer also seem to think that she bears at least some responsibility for her accident. When asked why she did not notice that the pit was not sufficiently secured, Chechik responded with an analogy:
Let me be honest with you: when you get into a car, you don’t think that something in the car could be broken. When you get on a plane, you don’t think that something could be broken.
People do something every day. They go to trampoline parks, they go to climbing parks. And you’re at an event where you’re watching other people. I stood in line for 40 minutes and watched other people. I filmed them, and everyone came out fine.
Asmongold also has a suspicion as to why people are trying to blame Chechik for her accident: These people probably dislike her because of her past as an adult film actress, according to the streamer.
