A good selfie takes a lot of work, usually a
series of well-angled snaps are taken before
the right one is posted all over social media.
The trick to a great selfie is good lighting, a
great a filter and most importantly, capturing
your best side. And the right angle means
exploring your environment.
Unfortunately, most people are now willing to
go to great lengths to take the perfect snap,
even putting their lives in jeopardy.
I have laughed about several selfie trends that
are making waves, but this is honestly
ridiculous, people are risking their lives in the
name of social media.
Just a year ago Kim Kardashian was almost
trampled to death by an elephant while
snapping a selfie!

Here’s a look at five tragic selfie inflicted
accidents:


1.
Sylvia Rajchel

While taking a break from medical school in
Spain, a Polish student lost her footing
attempting to take a selfie on the ledge of the
Puente de Trianna Bridge in Seville. The 23-
year-old stumbled and landed on the bridge’s
concrete support system after falling a
shocking 15 feet! I can’t even imagine the fear
of watching yourself fall to your near death.


2.
Anna Ursu (and her recovering friend)

Two Romanian teenagers planned to take the
selfie of all selfies, i.e. on top of a train. This
is popular in Instagram culture. Anna’s foot
allegedly touched a live wire sent 27 000 volts
through her body.
A man who reportedly saw them, before the
incident, attempted to put the flames out. The
18-year-old died having burned her entire
body while her friend later recovered at the St
Maria hospital.


3.
Iranian car-jamming girls

Two friends decided it would make for plenty
of likes and shares to post a karaoke video of
themselves whilst driving. The video quickly
went viral because the duo was involved in an
accident while jamming to an Iranian pop song
called “Ghorboni.” At one point the driver has
her eyes off the road and her hands were too
busy making hearts.
Surely if you can’t text and drive, then
definitely don’t Insta-vid and drive.

4.
Christine Rosello

A Rizal High School student in Manila,
Philippines fell down a flight of stairs, nine
steps from the third floor to the second, while
posing for a selfie with an energy drink.
Christine was only 13 when she died at the
Rizal Medical Center.


5.
Isabella Fracchiolla

During a field trip to Taranto, a city in Apulia,
Southern Italy, a 16-year-old student fell 18
meters onto jagged rocks while trying to take a
very risky selfie. Isabella suffered a series of
injuries and doctors were unable to save her
life.
