The 20-year-old woman was on a fair in Ballie, Uttar Pradesh, where she participated in a Ferris wheel. According to PTI’s report, while trying to take selfies while riding the wheel, she reportedly lost balance then fell off the wheel. She was quickly sent to a hospital where she died during treatment. This is just one among a lot of accidents relating to selfies as people seem to take a lot of risks just to take perfect selfies.

Recently, a Portuguese woman at 27 years of age in Panama also died from falling from the 27th floor’s balcony of building while she was trying to take selfies. The strong wind was identified as the primary cause for her incident, but it obviously would not have happened if she had taken care of herself when taking selfies.

Anyway, we would recommend taking care of yourself while taking photos, and especially, don’t take any risks for just trying to capture the best pictures.
