Do: Make Sure You’re Standing Somewhere Steady

Speaking of snapping those selfies on land; you should also make sure you’re not standing somewhere on the brink of collapse. If you don’t you might end up with a case like this one, also out of Indonesia last year, where a family of vacationers gathered for a group selfie on top of a boat dock. It ended up buckling under their collective weight, and five of them ended up drowned in the wreckage.

Maybe this is a good reminder to, uh, stay away from any sort of large bodies of water while you’re taking a selfie, just a to be safe.
