There are many sophisticated ways to go to the next world, but could we have thought just a couple of years ago that people would die trying to take a photo on the very edge of an abyss or with a gun to their head?
1. A 17-year-old Russian schoolgirl from St. Petersburg, Ksenia Ignatieva, was only a month shy of coming of age. Being at the very top of the railway bridge, the girl lost her balance for a second and fell down. While falling, she caught on a high-voltage cable, which led to instant death.
2. 32-year-old resident of North Carolina (USA), Courtney Sanford, was driving along a busy highway, singing the Pharrell Williams song “Happy”. It was only the desire to share happiness with others that forced the woman to take a dangerous selfie and post the photo on Facebook. This was the very last thing she managed to do before her death. Losing control, a second later Courtney crashed into a garbage truck and died on the spot.
3. The next dangerous selfie that led to death was attempted by a Japanese tourist while visiting the Taj Mahal. Choosing a good angle, he stumbled and rolled down the marble steps, knocking down his comrade. The friend escaped with a broken leg, but the lover of extreme photography died of a heart attack. His death was far from the first on the steps of an Indian temple and, judging by the trend, it is unlikely to be the last.
4. It’s hard to imagine what (or rather, what) Mexican Oscar Otero was thinking about a second before his death, trying to take a selfie with a gun to his temple.
The result is predictable: the 21-year-old macho shot himself in the head without having time to take a photo. It’s a shame, because now only a pathologist knows what was in his brain.
5. The following is one of the last selfies before death is simply monstrous in its recklessness. A married couple from Poland, while vacationing in , decided to photograph themselves at the most extreme point of Europe, Cape Cabo da Roca. A sudden gust of wind threw both of them over the edge of an 80-meter cliff in front of their children, 5 and 6 years old. Psychologists have been working with them for a long time and are faced with the difficult task of convincing orphans that their parents were normal people.
6. Another candidate for the Darwin Award is 18-year-old Anna Ursu from Romania. Having climbed onto the roof of the train, she wanted to “effectively raise her leg,” as her miraculously surviving friend later explained. The effect was quite impressive: having touched a high-voltage wire with her foot, the lover of dangerous selfies immediately flared up like a torch, receiving a discharge of 27,000 volts.
7. Selfies with dangerous animals also often cause death. 32-year-old Spaniard David Gonzalez, during the traditional festival, could not catch himself and the bull in the frame. Carried away, he did not notice how one of the animals ran up to him from behind and literally impaled him on his horns. It was not possible to save the unlucky photographer.
8. A resident of the UK, while visiting Wales, was so impressed by a raging thunderstorm that he decided to film himself with lightning in the background. If he hadn't skipped physics classes at school, he would have known how dangerous his latest selfie at the very top of the hill with a metal stick raised up could be. The unlucky photographer did not pretend to be a lightning rod for long: after a few seconds, the very first lightning strike ended in his death.
9. If an individual photo from an extreme place hardly surprises anyone, then a group selfie taken a moment before death is something new. A group of 24 Indian students and teachers wanted to take pictures of themselves in front of the dam, unaware that the reservoir had started releasing water. As a result, only 5 bodies were found, the rest were missing.
10. Several groups of tourists found themselves at the site of an unexpected eruption of the Ontake volcano in Japan. In a matter of minutes, a dangerous mixture of ash, gas and stones fell on everyone who was nearby. Few managed to escape; more than 30 people became victims of the volcano.
The most interesting thing began after a while, when the smoke cleared and the rescue operation began. Having found the surviving phones, rescuers were shocked by the latest entries. It turns out that when the eruption began, many tourists, instead of running, spent precious seconds taking selfies and shooting videos.
One of the online publications calculated that in 2015 the number of victims bad photos exceeded the number of victims of shark teeth worldwide. The epidemic is only gaining momentum and the most dangerous selfies before death are yet to come...
Following the addiction of taking photographs of themselves and posting them on the Internet, people lose their sense of reality and forget about the risk that threatens their health and life. Against the backdrop of the news about a Romanian girl who died while taking a selfie on the roof of a railway carriage, we remember tragedies that might not have happened if we had not had a phone with a camera at hand and a manic desire to earn likes on social networks.
1. Selfie on the roof of a train
In May 2015, a Romanian girl caught fire after accidentally touching an exposed wire while trying to take her "coolest selfie" on the roof of a train. 18-year-old Anna Ursu and her friend went to the train station in the city of Iasi to take a “special selfie” that she wanted to post on Facebook. When the girl was lying on the roof of the train and raised her leg in the air, she accidentally touched a bare wire through which a current of 27,000 volts was flowing. This caused the girl to catch fire. Despite the best efforts of a passerby who tried to save Anna, the 18-year-old girl later died in hospital with burns to about 50 percent of her body.

6. Selfie on the first date
James Nichols is offering £300 (S$630) for a stone that was stolen from his car. Why so expensive? Because this rock was picked up by his girlfriend, who fell to her death while trying to take a selfie on a rock during her first date with James. Nichols flew from the UK to South Africa to meet Miss Cheyenne Holloway. The couple visited Northcliffe Rock, the second highest point in the city of Johannesburg. They stopped to take a selfie with the setting sun in the background. According to a witness, Holloway, 21, stood on a large rock near the top of the cliff while Nichols, 23, a portrait photographer, set up a tripod. The rock crumbled and the girl flew down from a 15-meter height.
A popular trend called #SelfieOlympics claimed the life of 18-year-old Oscar Reyes. On January 2, 2015, the teenager took a photo of himself dressed as SpongeBob and uploaded it to Facebook. The photo received more than 200 likes. Oscar's friends later said that this made him so happy that Oscar decided to continue taking "cool" selfies.
