The most dangerous selfie locations in the world: 300 people lost their lives in these places
In recent years, a trend has emerged that has taken more than 100 lives: Selfie in particularly dangerous places. Influencers want to show their boldest photos - taken on top of a rock, a multi-storey building, a crane, in the middle of a wild river, Citymagazine.
According to a study published in "Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care “, between October 2011 and November 2017, at least 259 people lost their lives in dangerous places, just because of the good photography. According to statistics, these are mostly men aged 20 to 29 years.
Last year alone, 24 selfie deaths were reported immediately after the removal of coronary heart disease restrictions.
Due to the alarming data, the authors of the study decided to launch an initiative for "selfie-free areas" and thus mark the most dangerous points of photography.
The site "travelbook.de" made a list of places that are dangerous for taking selfies
El Caminito del Rei, Hotel Spain
This beautiful trail was considered one of the most dangerous in the world and was completely closed to visitors for 14 years. Cause: many deaths. In 2015, the track was renovated and fences were installed. However, the walk is still not completely safe.
Devil's Pool, Zambia
Many people swim directly to the edge, which is located at an altitude of 110 meters. There is a natural wall that does not allow water to pull you away immediately, but if currents occur, no one can stop you. Many tourists have already fallen into the depths of Victoria Falls.

The rock that protrudes from the mountain resembles the language of trolls, which is why it has an unusual name. Many tourists go all the way to the edge. This was fatal for the 24-year-old Melbourne - she fell almost 300 m in height.
