A US man died last week after slipping off a cliff while taking selfies at a whale-watching site in Sydney's south.
Sadly, he's far from alone.
According to Turkish clinicians who tallied up selfie-related incidents reported in the media from December 2013 to January 2017, most injuries resulted from falling, but the leading cause of death was drowning.
In more unusual cases, a Russian man died after posing with a grenade, and in 2016 a tourist in China was dragged underwater by a walrus while he was snapping a selfie with the massive marine mammal.
No wonder some countries run "safer selfie" campaigns.
