Taking selfies kills more people now annually than sharks

The Great White shark used to be one of the most effective killing machines on the planet—or so we thought. Nowadays, the act of taking a selfie or getting the perfect shot while traveling is proving far deadlier.

Two travelers reportedly died in different instances in Peru recently while standing too close to the cliff ledge when posing for a photo. Last week, a 51-year-old man died when losing his balance at the edge of a cliff at Machu Picchu, in an area closed off to the public. He fell 130 feet. Prior to that, a South Korean tourist fell in northern Peru while taking a selfie at the Gocta waterfall, one of the tallest waterfalls in the world. He plunged more than 1,600 feet.

There is a book you can buy that is about all of the various types of deaths at the Grand Canyon.
Very interesting read.

I would venture to say that it has been a long time since the Great White was at the top of the causes for human death chart.

My takeaway from this: Sounds like sharks need to step up their game.

A lot of folks from India seem to have a great deal of difficulty taking selfies.
