In 2014, a 21-year-old in Mexico died from a gunshot wound to the head. The scene: a selfie surrounded by his friends. The young man posed with a gun pointed at his face and accidentally pulled the trigger.

The same year as the men in the Urals died of a grenade blast, a Russian woman shot herself in the face while taking a selfie. Her case also inspired the country’s “Safe Selfie” guide.
