Pits are such a commonplace trap in dungeons that many adventurers carry implements solely for climbing out of them. This pit trap, however, has a secondary effect that is triggered when weight (equal to two Medium creatures) is within 5 ft. of the edge of the pit. This causes the hole to collapse wider and potentially spill even more victims into the pit.
