There are sadly no lengths people won’t go to in order to get a good selfie, even if it costs them their lives. Since 2014, there have been hundreds of injuries and deaths around the world because of people doing silly things to capture the perfect image, and it’s just not worth it. Most recently, a woman continued to film herself during an actual tsunami and nearly paid the ultimate price.
The woman kept a hold of her selfie stick the whole time.
In a clip circulating on X, formerly known as Twitter, an unidentified woman stands in front of an oncoming tsunami to film herself. As the water comes closer, she seems overjoyed, and it eventually overtakes her.
The woman is swept up and away into the fast-flowing rapids, though she eventually gets caught up in some tree branches rather than being whisked even further away.
The strangest thing? She managed to hang onto her selfie stick throughout (though she did get a little help from a fellow tsunami chaser).
Needless to say, people are not impressed.

When the clip hit X, it didn’t take long for the reactions to start pouring in, and pretty much everyone agreed that this is some extreme behavior.
“Never seen someone enjoy a near death experience like this since the white man created sky diving,” one person remarked.
A second added, “I everyday wonder how it is possible that human race is not yet extinct after seeing these things.”
Even the clip itself was put up with the caption, “A selfie during a Tsunami is INSANE.”

Can we all agree to stop doing things like this?
After all, the woman likely did this because she thought it would go viral online — and in that regard, she was right.
However, all the views, likes, comments, and shares in the world won’t do you much good if you’re dead, will they?
