Few things on an Instagram account impress followers more than a selfie taken during some extreme circumstance. A selfie on the edge of a cliff, on the roof of a skyscraper, while driving a car or even by a passing train seems crazy at first glance, but it will collect likes. However, such a desire for a great selfie does not always turn out well for a person. According to BBC News, 2011 people died between 2017 and 259. The most common cause of death was traffic accidents. However, deaths caused by animals, electrocution or falling from tall buildings were also high on the list. During the recent eruption of a volcano in Hawaii, local authorities even banned entry into dangerous areas because tourists wanted to take selfies.
For example, the recent explosion of a volcano in Hawaii caused major problems. People went so close to take pictures of the lava that they found themselves in danger:

"Selfie death is defined as death while taking a photo of oneself. Initially, we compiled an exhaustive list of information from newspapers, Wikipedia, or data for analysis. mini"We searched for the keywords 'selfie death, selfie accident, selfie death' etc. We compared the results with newspaper articles and web links. Data that did not match were excluded from the survey." says a BBC report.

The report also recommends that selfie-free zones be established at death sites. However, given the diversity of death sites and the often-overlooked stupidity of humans, this recommendation is almost impossible to implement. The people working on this research also believe that the number 259 is notoneMany similar events go unreported, and the BBC focused only on English-language sources in this research.
If they don't hurt a bystander in the process, then that's their business... A natural choice when someone is stupid enough to die for a photo.
I approve of the lava, unlike the selfie with the train, it doesn't leave nesta happy driver and an hour's work of scrubbing with a razor.
