Selfies are fun and can be cool images, but apparently they’re causing more problems than sharks.

According to The Telegraph online publication, so far this year 12 deaths have been caused by selfies or selfie attempts while only eight deaths have been by shark attacks.

When thinking of social networks, especially Instagram and Snapchat, we think selfies. The thought of a selfie never connected with being dangerous, until now. The problem is when your taking a selfie you are now distracting yourself with yourself through your phone or image-taking device. Therefore, you might not have the slightest clue what is going on around you.

While selfie-related deaths and injuries are happening around the world, Russia is top of the list for selfie-issues with 10 selfie-related deaths this year.

Russia has deemed it such a problem that they started a “Safe-Selfie” campaign to try to stop people, especially the younger crowd, from taking selfies in dangerous places and situations. Russia’s government have even put out a warning chart on how not to kill yourself/injure yourself while trying to get that perfect selfie.

Yosemite National Park’s bison have been sticking it to the selfie-takers and have attacked five people this year. Yosemite has advised tourists to stay away from the wild animals and to definitely not try to take a selfie with them.

So far this year, all while trying to snap that selfie, a man shot himself in the head, two men died by the same hand grenade, three students all got hit by the same oncoming train trying to get a “daredevil selfie,” two teenagers have climbed atop moving trains and came into contact with live wires, three fell to their death, etc.

This year is not the first year that selfies are taking lives. In 2014, there were 19 selfie-related deaths. This selfie-behavior is becoming a problem and is even taking lives. Apparently, people have become so obsessed with themselves that they are risking their lives for a selfie.

Even the happiest place on Earth, Disneyland, have been concerned with the lack of thought process going into taking a selfie and completely banned the selfie stick.

While you’re out there being a selfie photographer, be aware of your surroundings and don’t take any unnecessary risks.
