Yeah, I could have "killed" the couple of Dodgers fans in front of me at the SF Giants game Sunday gloating over LA's 15-0 win while taking stupid selfies of themselves. ;>)

'No selfie' zones ? That has to be the most stupid conclusion to an article.
In every society the 'life expectancy' of teens and young adults Dips. They are at the most risk than any adult thirty plus, until late old age.
The notion that 'Selfies' are any more open to stupid behavior than any other cause of death has to be debatable. Putting a notice up saying DO NOT ....is often an open encouragement for young people to DO.

How about "No Stupidity Zones"? "Don'e Be Stupid Here".
(Cleaning the gene pool.....)

About we let nature follow its course removing the stupidest and then we can remove the warnings label and do away with the rest.

Potential Darwin Award winners. Hopefully, they didn't get the chance to reproduce and pass on potentially dangerous genes to the rest of the species. Sorry; I find it hard to be any more sympathetic for those who are so self-absorbed they manage to commit "selfie suicide," than I am for those who cause car accidents because they're drunk or texting.

Maybe if they were smarter, they really would be dangerous.

This should be a new Darwin Awards category - Death by Selfie. And yes, it would improve the gene pool
