Tip: Selfies near train tracks? Bad idea.

One way to cleanse the gene pool.
Actually selfies do mankind good because they tend to weed out the Darwin award finalists.
Darwin Awards!
Well they certainly got selfies of stupid people.
I have sympathy for the people who have to go all the way down to the mountain base in order to recover and transport the bodies.
Wasn’t it just two months ago that a video showed little Chinese students climbing a Jacob’s Ladder up a mountainside in order to reach their classrooms? That was a shocker. The Chinese government was embarrassed into installing a long stairway for the kids instead. My thought is why not some sort of elevator? Or better yet, put the school down onto the ground level near the houses.
Selfie Suicides
Maybe calling it a “Darwin” instead of “selfie” would be more accurate. And how long before some Democrat requires a safety label on the selfie stick about the dangers of this practice?
“a South Korean tourist fell in northern Peru while taking a selfie at the Gocta waterfall, one of the tallest waterfalls in the world. He plunged more than 1,600 feet.”
It seems almost cartoon-ish. I bit a hole in my lip trying to keep from laughing. RIP.
How sad.
You can easily purchase, at no risk to life or limb, an excellent photograph of most scenic attractions.
Darwin is a cruel master.
Last week, a very pathetic incident occurred...This guy clambered on top of a goods train stationed in Shoranur railway station...Whether no one has seen this boy climbing up..? No information...
High Voltage electric power lines which carry 25000 volts pass through most of the length and breadth of the railway routes in Kerala and elsewhere....Shoranur is no different....Above the parked goods train also was a 25 KV power line...The boy after reaching the top of the train, posed himself for a good photograph...In that process, the boy might not have noticed the over head power line or was not aware of the danger this line can cause...
To cut the story short, during his act of snap taking, he came into contact with the live wire and immediately, he was thrown off the train and he fell down away from the railway tracks due to electric shock....He was not electrocuted on the spot....But he was burnt very severely....Some good Samaritans got him admitted in a local hospital and due to the severity of his burns he was later shifted to the medical college....But he could not be saved...He succumbed to the severe burns he suffered during the process of his "adventurous photo session..."
Estupidos.
At one time, flagpole sitting was the “selfie” of a bygone
era. It was considered the “bees knees” back then and
dangerous as all get out. I hope the “selfie” craze dies
a natural death before any more goofballs are killed with
this asinine pastime. By then, the flagpole thing could very
well stage a comeback unless they come up with some other
hairbrained idea. It is the product of a society of total
narcissists; Democrats, Hitler-y voters.
Taking selfies is so flippin’ gay anyway.
I mean, REALLY!
