Risky Selfies from the "Before-Disaster" Hall of Shame
Selfies capture unique moments, but some people don't take precautions before snapping a photo and often find themselves on the verge of recklessness.
The images capture moments before falls or dangerous situations. From selfies on the edge of a tower to people working at heights without the proper equipment.
Often, the thrill of capturing a unique moment overrides common sense, and the result can be dangerous. People expose themselves to unnecessary risks, despite warnings. The combination of innocence and risk leads to a unique and memorable moment, despite the potential consequences of that selfie.
