People Shame Influencers Doing Dumb Things For A Pic And Here Are 35 Of Their Posts (Best Of All Time)

After the United States of America and Russia, India had the highest number of deaths that were caused by selfies. A fall from a height, being transported, and drowning were the leading causes of mortality, respectively. "Travellers are often affected because of the desire to ‘be cool’, i.e. to post photos on social media and get rewards in the form of likes and comments," according to the university researchers.

When attempting to acquire a fantastic photo on social media, they cautioned against engaging in behavior that was completely undamaged. People are taking perilous risks that cannot be justified in terms of the number of Instagram followers that they could earn as a result of their actions in this day and age of experienced travel and the need to shoot a selfie that is superior to those taken by others.

A TikTok star who was 24 years old had their last moments captured on video in one of the most recent unfortunate events. In Tbilisi, Georgia, as Arina Glazunova was making a video for social media, she fell and died after tripping over a low wall. Before she fell into a subway car, the Russian was seen on camera by her buddy skiing and singing. She passed away in the hospital not long after the incident occurred.

Earlier, in India, a travel influencer who was 27 years old passed away as a result of a fall. During the monsoon season in India, Aanvi Kamdar had been videotaping a waterfall that was approximately 300 feet tall. Her attempt to upload the video to her Instagram account was thwarted when she fell into a huge chasm.

The conditions were characterized as "treacherous" by the rescue workers who were forced to battle to reach her. "She fell on the hard, slippery patch of rocks around 300 ft into the valley and couldn't be spotted initially," according to a member of the rescue team. "A stretcher that was tied to rappelling ropes was used to transport her to the top of the building. While fifty rescue workers assisted those on top of the hillock, six rescue workers descended the slope. Following the five-hour rescue operation, Kamdar was transported to the hospital. However, soon after being admitted, he passed away.

Another content producer passed away in April after falling over a viewing platform in Georgia while shooting a photo. The incident occurred in Georgia. At the Gagry viewing point, Inessa Polenko had accomplished the feat of climbing over a barrier. After falling onto a beach below, the woman, who was 39 years old, passed away in the hospital from her injuries.

In Indonesia, a guy who was 43 years old and was taking a selfie on a cliff in Bali was killed when he slid off the cliff and died. "The victim arrived at the Broken Beach tourist attraction at 16.30pm, then the victim took a position on the edge of the cliff to take a photo with his back to the Broken Beach photo object," according to a statement issued by authorities.

According to the police, the tour guide of the guy grabbed Abhishek Bhatia's leg, but "because of the victim's body weight," they were unable to maintain their grip, and the man plummeted to the bottom of the cliff. During the later hours of that day, his body was recovered.

In their report, the researchers provided suggestions regarding the ways in which they feel "death by selfie" can be avoided altogether. "Travel medicine practitioners should routinely counsel travellers on responsible self-photography during international travel and should include this advice in printed material provided," according to their recommendations.

It is important for the travel and mobile phone companies to communicate these health promotion messages more effectively. Additional research should be conducted in the future to provide further insights on the selfie-taking behavior of travelers.

Specifically focused on Australia, Samuel Cornell has carried out a separate investigation on the subject. In his opinion, there is a lack of awareness there. "Selfie-related injuries and deaths may be a relatively new phenomenon, but data suggest they are a public health hazard that is not going away," Cornell stated in his presentation.

"Emergency medicine practitioners may have a role to play in the primary and secondary prevention of selfie incidents, including delivering opportunistic behaviour change messaging to those who are at risk of being injured or killed in a selfie-related incident, particularly young (14–25 years) males."

Be sure to give careful consideration before posing for a photograph in a potentially dangerous posture, regardless of whether you are taking a quick snapshot to share with your friends or you are an influencer who is making thousands of dollars for your content. It is important to ask oneself how much the "money shot" that you are pursuing is actually worth. Keep in mind that accumulating likes, shares, and followers is pointless if you are not present to enjoy the benefits of your efforts.
