btw I’m still insanely pissed about adriana chechnik
no comment from twitch. no comment from lanovo. this is a debilitating life altering chronic injury and no way is she going to even get the payout she deserves from twitch or the convention center. (also again not to beat a dead horse but i guarantee you she would not have so many crushed bones and defiently would not have had so much nerve damage if security hadn’t dragged her out of the pit and made her walk around)
I know she signed a waiver but there are certain limitations to liability waivers, they don’t override legal rights and responsibilities. No amount of money could make this right but I hope she and everyone who got injured sues every company involved into bankruptcy tbh
As far as I know, in the US liability waivers are mostly a scare tactic to get people not to sue. Waivers might partially protect them against liability for expected risks not resulting from negligence, but this is negligence on maaaany levels, so nah, not protective here.
Yeah, waivers are like “c'mon, let’s put it on record that we all know what’s up here”, and like, if things are not, in fact, on the level you would reasonably expect that’s not a shield
