The fashion of selfie photography has appeared in the past three years but as people become more and more bold in their attempts to pull the perfect self-portrait to share it online, the stories of the photos of young people who have been seriously injured or killed .
Do you think strange or too all of this? Let's take a closer look at the numbers.
Zachary Crockett from Priceonomics has recently presented a series of charts that offer a clearer picture of where and how they happen Selfie deaths. After searching for and researching the news at 3 times, he found that 49 people have died in their attempt to pull a line from 2014 to date, that the 75% of the victims are men, and that the average age is just 21 .
Here's the demographic breakdown:
As you can see, there are no reports of any selfie deaths involving people over the age of 32. And although the Women tend to take more selfies than men, men are at greatest risk.
But let's look at an analysis below on how victims died:
There are three main causes of these accidental deaths in the attempt of a seIfie. In order is the fall from great heights, second is drowning in water and third by train.
Crockett also found that the India it is overwhelmingly the country where most deaths occur, with 19 deaths (or 40% of the total). One of the main causes there is drowning. Russia and the US with 7 and 5, respectively. Recall that Russia, alarmed by these deaths, launched a campaign to raise awareness of the dangers of seIfie in July 2015.
Fortunately, in Greece, we have no victim of this attitude, not at least officially, but do not think we are immune to it, for peoples with the same temperament as us, like Italy, have mourned a victim.
Finally, deaths from selfie over the other causes can be analyzed as follows:
The above comparison is between accidental deaths, not foreseeable, and not from some act of violence, such as robbery, fromtreatment, clash of groups, gangs, etc. Among all accidental deaths around the world, selfies are next to skateboards and below bee and wasp stings (from allergic shock).
Watch carefully when you pull a selfie. Do it without risking it.
