List of selfie-related injuries and deaths

The United States Department of Transportation estimated that in 2014, the so-called "year of the selfie",[1][2] 33,000 people were injured while driving and using a cell-phone in some fashion, which can include talking, listening, and "manual button/control actuation".

[3] A 2015 survey by Erie Insurance Group found that 4% of all drivers admitted to taking selfies while driving.

[4] The Washington Post reported in January 2016 that "about half" of at least 27 "selfie related" deaths in 2015 had occurred in India.

[6] No-selfie zones were also established in certain areas of the Kumbh Mela because organizers feared that bottlenecks caused by selfie-takers could spark stampedes.

[8][9] [60] [101] Note: Although widely reported as a selfie incident, the victim claimed in a later CBS News interview that she was not taking a selfie, and did not enter the zoo enclosure—she only reached across a below-waist-height concrete planter in front of a much higher fenced enclosure—misleadingly termed "climbing" or "crossing" a barrier.
