| gored by a Bison during a selfie |
Well, there have been so many since 2014, that there's actually a web page that keeps track of selfie-related deaths!
Here are two of our favorite acts of stupidity:
1) A woman in Yellowstone National Park was gored by an American bison while taking a selfie. She was treated for injuries
2) Two young men died in the Ural mountains as they pulled the pin from a hand grenade to take a selfie, which remained as evidence of the circumstances of their deaths
To see all of the idiots: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_selfie-related_injuries_and_deaths
AND Here's just a list of the deaths from June 2016:
