It was clearly visible in the clip that EdyBot was the first one who fell into the pit. She was followed by Chechik as she leaped into the air from a small podium and found herself doing activities such as splits and finally landed on her tailbone. This seemed awkward as she right away screams in agony, attempts to escape, and suddenly falls into the foam.

Lenovo, a computer manufacturer, organized the foam pit as a component of their “Legion by Lenovo” stand at the conference. As the viral clip caught the eyes of several people across the globe, they came up with their own experience in the pit. As people reportedly claimed that they had been hurt in the exact same pit.
Be careful on this thing guys. I’m currently at the hospital seeing if I broke anything. 🥹 https://t.co/SNHHl5XZEE

The pit’s depth was thought to have been less than two feet at one time. Its floor seemed to be covered by some sort of pad beneath the foam. It is believed that the standard pits should be at least 6 feet deep, along with a base pin lining foam so that it will help in absorbing the stress.
One of the volunteers when enquired about the incident stated that they were denied permission to give any sort of information to the media. In contrary to this he gave assurance by saying, “They have rules [for the foam pit] and they explained the rules.”
A 31-year-old convention volunteer named Edgar Jimenez claimed to have seen Chechik’s injuries. “She was just doing regular gameplay, but unfortunately, during her victory dance, she fell and landed, where she was for a good minute or so,” Jimenez stated.
