This is an economics website--- shouldn&#x27;t we be looking at the <i>rate</i> of selfie deaths?<p>Over 1 million selfies are taken a day[0], so your death rate of dying while taking a selfie is 28deaths (in 2015) &#x2F; 360million (seflies taken in 2015).  Each selfie has a 1 in 12,857,142 chance of causing you death.<p>I&#x27;m pretty meh about it. These are people chasing glory and fame. Taking extreme selfies is probably safer than going to war or becoming a kingpin.<p>[0] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;stylecaster.com&#x2F;beauty&#x2F;selfies-infographic&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;stylecaster.com&#x2F;beauty&#x2F;selfies-infographic&#x2F;</a>
