Selfie Sticks. You know, those long poles that help take better selfies, especially in large groups. Well, they are being outlawed in several concert venues and amusement parks for various reasons, with folks just being obnoxious and bumping into folks with them, you know possibly causing injury.
Injury is bad enough, but death?
A guy from England was hiking a mountain in Powys, Wales this weekend when a thunderstorm suddenly hit.
And apparently he took out his selfie stick to get a sweet picture of himself in the storm. Because let’s face it, everyone on FaceBook and Instagram has GOT to see a photo of that!
But his selfie stick had some metal in it . . . so it was basically like he was holding up a lightning rod.
And right on cue, a bolt of lightning hit the selfie stick . . . traveled through his body . . . and killed him on the spot. There you have it . . . the world’s first “death by selfie stick.” And something tells me, it won’t be the last.
