The images of this are really graphic. I'm not saying don't google them, but you should almost certainly include a warning that what you will get is an image of third degree burns on someone's pelvis.I beg anyone who believes the McDonald's hot coffee court case was some sort of frivolous lawsuit to just please Google the pictures of the woman's burns. Don't fall for the corporate propaganda that got spread to discredit the woman. What happened to her was terrible.
I once slid down some stairs and landed on my tailbone. No serious injury, but I was in pain for two months. That area does not heal easy. I can't imagine actually breaking my back.Holy fuck I can't imagine how painful that must have been. I've landed on my back and tailbone without any serious injury and I felt like I was going to throw up. Hope she can heal up okay.
jesus god in heaven I'm having like phantom pains just from looking at it, sweet christ almighty holy motherThe images of this are really graphic.

It's just wild how many posts here went "well duh you're supposed to fall right." While jousting, no less lol
The organizers in this case being Lenovo/Intel right?I'm all in favour of reviewing a situation from all perspectives and ensuring the correct responsibility is attributed and common sense is used.
But in this case? Fuck. That. An event needs to be safe from every possible angle, especially when something physical is involved. In no way was this safe, in no way can any amount of blame be placed on anyone except the organizers, and back injuries and pain are no joke. I feel sick seeing such a horrible thing happening to anyone who was just there to have a good time. Zero room for other interpretation here. Hope she wins a billion dollars.
Twitch: "have you done all the proper testing to ensure your booth is safe?"

I don't know what else Twitch could've done.

twitch was absolutely aware of the injuries throughout the day. the booth stayed open for most of the day regardless of it spreading on social media. as owners of the convention they should have shut it down, period.Twitch: "have you done all the proper testing to ensure your booth is safe?"

Sorry, no idea, I've not seen anything, and wasn't trying to imply anything...it was just meant to be a general disclaimer.

Go ahead and outline how the foam pit can be used safely for the event as stated and what purpose it was meant to serve.As an example. If I own a pool with a diving board there are conceivable uses where it is 100% safe. There are also usages that become unsafe based on the user's actions like Gainers, Inwards dives, diving towards the wall, inappropriate attire like wearing a dress, not allowing clearance of other swimmers, swimming during a lightning storm, etc. Homeowners shouldn't be on the hook in those cases.
If she were wearing a big sumo inflated outfit to fight other people and decides to run full speed towards a brick wall and ends up breaking her neck when she bounces off she has no case there either.
Just because the option presented itself (in her mind) doesn't mean the event holder is responsible. Now if the event were billed as diving contest or something then she might have a case.
