I love taking pictures as much as the next asshole .....but .........i am not going to risk life ..........and limb .......by taking a selfie on a dangerous vantage point .........i may have when i was young .........and stupid........this is not to say i have not done a lot of stupid shit .......i have had many accidents ........ falls ......... and near death experiences ...when i was young and stupid ... because i did not care .....i still don't care now ...but its a different not caring,,,,,,,,, for human beings being fucking shit plugs ..........
Maybe those people are,,,,,,,,,, and have been in the same state of mind i was .,.....or maybe its for attention on the technology level .......we know ass holes are doing some sick shit to get famous ......i truly think its all about attention ......i think i risked my life many times because when I as young........ i was plain stupid ......... i never had selfie motivation .......shit ............ all we had was a house phone .......cannot lug a house phone around with your ass .......
however ............ approx 50 people a year are killed in selfie accidents ......and one every 5 Mins ......... from testing while driving ......well the upside to all of this is ......it gets rid of idiots......... and keeps the population down a fraction .....although........ i suspect........ more and more babies are shat out every second ......adding to an already shit infested planet .....overpopulated ...mostly by fucking turds ......but that's not the point ......
Technology will help us get under control it may help us a lot ...but the dark side to technology ........is the related deaths to its fascination ...of selfies .....TWD......its might get better ......it might get worse .......but usually a good measure of how things go........... is human beings .......we are the earths great fucker uppers.......... for some reason ....we annihilate and kill anything that we can make a buck from ......and dint care about animals plants and water.......but knowing us we will produce some good ..but inevitably .......... we will fuck up somehow ........its what human beings do .....

Hiker Plunges To His Death While Taking Selfie At Waterfall
A 25-year-old hiker fell to his death while posing for a selfie at a cliff in Washington’sPalouse Falls State Park on Tuesday, local media reports.
Cade Prophet was taking the selfie with his girlfriend near the top of the waterfall when he slipped and fell into the Palouse River, according to the Tri-City Herald.
Local CBS station KREM said he fell about 40 feet then into the river, where he was swept away. His body was later found in a difficult-to-reach location.
“It’s a narrow part of the river right there,” park ranger Audra Sims told the station. “The canyon gets deeper, the current gets swifter.”
The Spokesman-Review said the trails near the falls used to have fences, but these were removed in 2015 because of complaints from hikers. Now, there are signs warning people to stay on the trails, but they are not always obeyed.
“I can’t tell them they can’t be here, it’s a park,” Capt. Rick Rochleau of the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office told the local NBC stations KNDO and KNDU. “But these cliffs are dangerous and it’s not the first time we’ve been out here.”
Selfie-related incidents have been growing along with the popularity of the photos.
In 2015, nearly 50 people died while taking selfies, according to a study. That includes a tourist who died after falling down a staircase at the Taj Mahal while attempting to take a photo.
And last year, a tourist fell to his death at Machu Picchu in Peru while attempting a selfie.
