Twitch streamer Adriana Chechik took to her Twitter account to reveal that she was swatted while recovering from the serious injury she incurred during TwitchCon 2022 in San Diego.

For context, the streamer attempted to dive into a foam pit arena installed in the San Diego Convention Center. However, there wasn't sufficient padding in the foam pit, so she ended up landing on the concrete floor. The fall caused severe injuries to her back that required immediate surgery.
