Safer selfie
Selfies need to be learned. Because accidents happen again and again, the Russian Ministry of the Interior is now showing how it's done and publishing a brochure for safe selfies.
"A cool selfie can cost you your life" says the on-board brochure published on Tuesday. And this is apparently by no means an exaggeration: In May, for example, according to SDA, a 21-year-old Moscow woman accidentally shot herself in the head because she wanted to take a pistol selfie. She survived. Tragically, the two young men who posed with their hand grenades off in January cannot say the same about themselves. In May, a teenager in the Ryazan region died after climbing onto a railroad bridge to take a selfie and touching a power cable. These are not isolated cases: Around one hundred people have already been injured in Russia this year while trying to take a selfie, twelve of them fatally.
Perhaps the information leaflet will help. The brochure shows, for example, that climbing onto the roof for selfie reasons is not a good idea...
...just as little as posing in front of dangerous animals.
That should actually make sense. If you are a selfie enthusiast, not averse to thrills and speak Russian: Below you will find the link to the larger version. (hae)
P.S.: Selfies with butterflies are allowed!
