The Spanish Medical Institution Fundación iO reveals that At least 379 people died while taking selfies between January 2008 and July 2021. The study appeared in the French newspaper Le Figaro, and in the Journal of Travel Medicine.

The researcher also notes that young people are more exposed to the risk of accidents, with the average age of the victims being 24,4 years. Of all victims, 41% are young people under the age of 19.
