More than 250 people worldwide have been killed taking selfies since 2011, according to the Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care. Last week’s episode is emblematic of the selfie culture in which some people have died trying to get the ultimate photo. In 2015, a woman was injured by a bison at Yellowstone Park after getting too close for a selfie. In April, Andrea Norton, a 20-year-old college student, died when she fell from a cliff in the Ozarks as she tried to take a selfie. The passenger who reported the episode aboard Allure of the Seas, Peter Blosic, told CNN that it was foolish to take such a risk.
