25/10/2018

An unfortunate fact about the taking of selfies came to light in one class this week.
Apparently, a survey by an Indian University revealed that there were over 250 reported deaths worldwide between 2011 and 2017 caused by people trying to take selfies.
92.5% of those killed were men and most were aged in their 20's.
The most common causes of death were drowning, followed by vehicle hits and falling from high places.
India tops the list of victims followed by Russia and the USA. 
Have you ever had a lucky escape from a dangerous situation?

That's quite alarming; I always try to be careful when taking pictures.
