You know, it’s so sad, and I really shouldn’t have to say this . . . but just so we’re all clear, getting a totally sweet selfie is NOT worth dying over.
But, believe it or not, 49 people around the world have died taking selfies since 2014. Their average age was 21, and three out of four were male. Five of them were in the U.S., and nineteen were in India.
The big questions are: What happened? How did they die? What were they thinking?
Well, here’s the list below:
- Falling from a high place . . . 16 deaths.
- Drowning . . . 14.
- Train . . . 8.
- Gunshot . . . 4.
- Grenade . . . 2.
- Plane crash . . . 2.
- Car crash . . . 2.
- Animal . . . 1. (A guy was gored in the neck taking a selfie at the Running of the Bulls in Spain.)
And kids….be careful when taking those selfies out there….think before you pose!
