Foam hole in TwitchCon leaves one hole with a broken back, and another with a dislocated knee

Chechik wrote on her Twitter account: “Okay, I broke my back in two places, and I’m going to have surgery to put in a meter rod for support today. Send your support.” “When it rains it rains and I definitely feel the rain now.”

TwitchCon, which took place over the weekend, is an annual conference that serves as a gathering of creators from around the world. The event has been held in San Diego since 2016, with a European version also taking place in Amsterdam, Berlin and other cities.

Chechik wasn’t the only one injured in the foam pit. Streamer LochVaness also posted a video on social media in which she jumped into the pit and dislocated her knee as a result. She also tweeted a picture of her in a hospital wheelchair.

LochVaness did not respond to a request for comment from IGN.

Be careful with this thing guys. I’m currently in the hospital to see if I’ve broken anything. 🥹 https://t.co/SNHHl5XZEE
