Russia has become the world’s first country to introduce guidelines to its citizens on clicking selfies, following a series of tragic deaths while attempting to click innovative and risky selfies. The Russian government has also started a nationwide ‘Safe Selfies’ campaign urging its people to follow safety measures while taking selfies.
The Russian government, in association with its police department, has introduced a series of sign boards just like the traffic signal signs and placed them across the streets on several cities across the country. The Russian Interior Ministry even distributed flyers that read, “A cool selfie could cost you your life.” Tips included in the pamphlet contain the cautionary note that “a selfie with a weapon kills“.
Until now, 11 people have been reportedly killed and more than 100 got seriously injured in their attempts to snap dangerous selfies. While a person died after his selfie stunt with a loaded gun went terribly wrong, another person died while posing for a selfie with a hand grenade.
In yet another incident, a citizen died while climbing on to a railway foot over bridge to take a picture. Even yesterday, a lady was killed while posing for a selfie at the edge of a bridge, after the land under her feet split, sending down the selfie enthusiast to her death.
