What has the human race come to?
Mashable have crunched the numbers this week, and it turns out that you’re more likely to die while snapping a selfie than be killed by a shark.
The selfie death toll for 2015 is 12, compared to eight shark-related fatalities.
To be fair, we do spend more time with our iPhones than we do with our sharp-toothed swimming friends, but it’s still a stark reminder to practice selfie-safety.

To be fair, people don’t actually die from taking the selfies like some kind of Stephen King-horror-story-plot-that-we’ve-just-patented. Rather they die from falling while taking selfies at a dangerous height, or by being hit by a vehicle while they focus on their phones.
Either way, when your own phone becomes more of a threat to your life than the animal they made Jaws about then it’s time to be a bit more careful.
Lastly, any combination of selfies and sharks is almost sure to end in death, so don’t do that.
