I am not a lawyer and I did not watch the video and I have no idea what I'm talking about ... but here's my opinion on why the person hurt is at fault. 🥴
It's amazing that 499 posts in we're still getting crap like this.
Well sense these are a foam pugilist sticks they could only provide enough force to disorient and not knock out someone (of course without preexisting conditions). The amount of force from if this were done on the ground is considerably lessened due to the cubes so typical sudden stop injuries like wrist fractures and knee impacts are minimized though not eliminated. This event is opt-in with a waiver. No sympathy now thanks to your response.
This is what you decided to make your 13th post since joining Era 5 years ago, eh?
Like I said. Those that will ultimately resolve this will have to make a legal opinion. If this were in pool of this depth with water and she walked up and decided to jump in with the most convenient way to injure herself then the onus is on her. There's no way she could have injured herself if this were water. She has to be bright enough to make that distinction. She will make a great twitter follow.. now.
Except the event wasn't held "on the ground", but a platform that you were supposed to knock opponents off of. Which was the entire purpose of the event. So if your stance is some libertarian nonsense of, "Well, if you fall for the organizers fooling you into thinking the event is safe, you're wholly responsible for participating to begin with," then you can't be reasoned with.

That convertible sure looks safe. I'm going to attack this gravel lane on this motorcycle this slight s-curve should be fine. I thought daytime running lights were sufficient for visiting a New Year's Eve event (that stated at 9pm). Do you mean how many cans of Truly or BiG boys officer?
She was told by organizers that it was safe to jump into the foam pit. Also waivers only work if there is no evidence of gross negligence. In this case the safety measures were clearly not adequate for what they were being used for.
Have you considered just like, not being appalling about this
so you're not someone to be taken seriously. thanks for clearing that up!
We are talking about video games. Scroll up. It's all dumb. But her defenders .. had to speak up while I wait for the ps classics to be announced.
At this point folks just need to report them. They have clearly made a decision that it is her fault. No matter what evidence is presented they aren't going to argue in good faith.
Also joined in 2017 and has 19 posts seems to be an alt account.
Twitch is full of circus clowns. She clowned. Even if they had harnesses. She would have found a way to get snagged up in that too. There are no perfectly safe events. She wasn't knocked in. She opted in. Wouldn't give her jack.
Sorry, what does her previous career have to do with this injury?
Was gonna reply to the moron but they're banned already so that's good.
I hope she can lawyer up. Even with a waiver she should have a chance

Holy shit, stop victim blaming and read the whole thread where multiple people explain the reasons why what you are saying is total horseshit or don't fucking post.
She's mentioned in the past that she's fucked up her neck to some extent due to her job. I can only imagine I guess.
I assume they were going by her saying she already had some pre-existing problems from her prior work. However I don't think that was why her injuries were so extensive. I think she just fell a lot harder then first assumed. The spine is really delicate and even what seem like minor things can harm it a lot. Hopefully some of her nerve damage heals over time.
Yeah I don't know why that would matter a lot. Maybe made it a little bit worse at the most but I'm sure she would have broken her back either way.
Waivers don't mean shit, it is a routine part of a lawyer's day getting past a waiver.
If she was told it was safe and it wasn't, whoever told her it was safe has some liability. Whoever built the pit has liability.
You know whose fault it isn't? Hers.

She's quoted saying she has had back and other health issues because of what she did. No judgment from me.

The sad thing is that, even if she doesn't want to sue for damages, she'll probably still have to sue in order to get her insurance company to pay out anything because they will absolutely TRY to block payment due to the signed waiver.
This is going to be a very shitty road for her.

This whole ordeal is horrifying, sickening, and depressing. I wish everyone especially Adriana a speedy recovery, it's so grim what happened to her.
Hopefully it's just from spinal bruising or swelling and as she recovers the feeling will return.
Honestly her insurance company will sure theirs to recover the medical costs they have paid already I am sure. A lawsuit is happening regardless but hopefully all the parties will just settle quickly and she will get the funds she needs for current and future medical costs caused by this along with the loss of her just starting Twitch channel. I doubt she will be able to sit long periods and stream with her back injuries.
Some of these waivers don't really hold up in court and are purely designed as theater to make people think they can't do anything. Not a lawyer though.
I hope she is able to recover from her injuries.
The good news is Amazon is multi billion dollar company and can afford to pay her out
The bad news is Amazon is a multi billion dollar company and will probably bleed her dry of legal fees
Ugggg I feel so bad for her

I can only imagine the mix of anger and sadness at having your life so completely changed by a moment like this, none-the-less one that came down to placing your trust in a company and it backfires due to horrific negligence on their part. Even if she wins a lawsuit, her life is probably never going to be fully the same, and for the company it'll just be a financial loss they ultimately shrug off while it sticks with her the rest of her life.
I really hope her recovery goes well. Fuck everyone involved in this negligence.
