BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - Courtesy: News 4 Staff (WIVB) We all love taking the perfect selfie, but next time, you might want to think twice. A new report says 259 people died while taking selfies between 2011 and 2017. The leading cause was drowning from people getting hit by waves or falling out of boats while posing. Other causes include getting hit by moving objects, falling from high places and getting attacked while posing with dangerous animals. More men died in selfie-related incidents because they tend to take more risks. India has created several "no selfie zones" in dangerous areas.

Selfies are anti-male and need to be banned.

Saw a teenager fall to his death in July at Glacier National Park in MT when he was taking a selfie. He had climbed over the barrier in this small water creek that flowed straight down...slipped and swan dived 100ft to the rock below.
No bueno.

Yeah, happens relatively often in National Parks.

In Yosemite people try to get on a boulder in the river, fall, then get swept over a huge waterfall.
