Eight people died while taking selfies next to trains since 2014, a recent report said. A look at selfie-related deaths shows 49 people in total who have died after trying to take photos of themselves caused them to ignore or misinterpret their surroundings.

Turning the camera to one’s own face, whether using a selfie stick or a phone alone, has become the go-to method of capturing moments on a vacation or a favorite outfit. However, the pursuit of the memorable things in life has led some people to walk off the cliffs they’re photographing, to mishandle weapons, or to underestimate nearby vehicles.

 

The most common cause of death by selfie was falling from heights, which claimed 16 lives worldwide since 2014. Drowning was the second most common selfie accident with 14 instances, followed by accidents with trains (8 people), gunshots (4 people). The same number of people died from accidents with grenades, planes, or cars, with two each. (The two involved with the grenade were both from the same incident, involving two Russian teens.)

India was the country with the most reported selfie-related deaths, 19, followed by Russia with seven and the United States with five. In response India’s government has marked off “no selfie zones,” especially near bodies of water.

Priceonomics collected data about selfie-related deaths from news archives around the world. The majority of victims are young, with an average age of 21, and male (75 percent). Since 18 – 24 year olds take a lot of selfies – 30 percent of their pictures are selfies, the highest percentage in any age group – it makes sense that they would be strongly represented here. Priceonomics also found that while women take more selfies than men in general, men are more likely to take risks in order to get a good shot.
