I just read that another woman was killed while she was trying to take a selfie near a volcano in Indonesia.
The woman tripped on her too long pants and fell into the volcano in front of her husband.
I accept that we are all a bit dumb. I, miself, know that I should walk more yet I dont do it.
But htere are limits.
These tragedies due to selfies are happening every day.
And there are other technology related tragedies everywhere. Today, a man was talking to his cellphone while driving and he killed a small child. Knowing the laws here, the man will not be in prison for a long time. And, can you tell that to the child´s mother?

Our laws were written before technology took over.

It is a shame that many of us are obsessed over selfies in dangerous places.

@Deepizzaguy It is incredible that some people are so stupid that instead of taking advantage of technology, they use it to do damage.

I agree with you. But the law won´t give him much punishment, I bet.

Those killings are often called "accidents" specially if the killer is rich.

Why would anyone with a sound mind want a picture hanging from a volcano?

That is very sad. Obviously, people need to be more safety conscious.

While it is terrible, it is also very stupid.
