The Most Insanely STUPID Selfie Deaths Ever
Okay, so… selfies. We all take them. But there's a line, right? A line between a normal photo and… this. This is the story of Andrey Retrovsky, a 17-year-old kid from Vologda, Russia.
He was a "rooftopper." You've seen them. These guys who climb to the top of skyscrapers, cranes, whatever… just to take these insane, vertigo-inducing photos. His Instagram, "drewsssik," was full of them. Him, dangling from ledges, standing inches from a fatal drop. His friends told him to stop. He didn't listen.

00:02Andrei Ratrovsky.
00:03Okay, so, selfies.
00:06We all take them.
00:07But there's a line, right?
00:09A line between a normal photo and this.
00:14This is the story of Andrei Ratrovsky,
00:17a 17-year-old kid from Vologda, Russia.
00:20He was a roof topper.
00:22You've seen them.
00:23These guys who climb to the top of skyscrapers, cranes, whatever,
00:26just to take these insane, vertigo-inducing photos.
00:30His Instagram, Drew's sick, was full of them.
00:34Him dangling from ledges, standing inches from a fatal drop.
00:38His friends told him to stop.
00:40He didn't listen.
00:43Late September, 2015.
00:46He and a friend climb a nine-story building.
00:49He has this idea for a new photo.
00:51He's gonna make it look like he's falling.
00:53He attaches a rope, lowers himself over the edge,
00:56and his friend gets ready to take the shot.
00:59And then the rope snaps.
01:02The fake fall becomes a real one.
01:04He plummets nine stories.
01:06He hits the ground in some bushes.
01:09He doesn't die instantly.
01:11He's alive.
01:12For a little while.
01:14They rush him to the hospital, but it's too late.
01:17He dies a couple of hours later from massive internal injuries.
01:21And the irony, the sick, twisted irony, is that the photo he was trying to take was of him pretending
01:28to fall.
01:29He wanted the thrill, the image of danger, without the actual danger.
01:34And in the end, that's exactly what killed him.
01:37He died for a photo that was never even taken.
01:41Essa, Kelsey, and Savannah.
01:44This one...
01:45This one is just heartbreaking.
01:48October 15, 2011.
01:51Spanish Fork Canyon, Utah.
01:54Three girls.
01:55Essa Ricker, 15.
01:58Kelsey Webster, 15.
02:00And her little sister, Savannah, 13.
02:03They're out for a drive, enjoying the fall colors.
02:06They stop near a scenic railway curve to watch the trains.
02:10They're taking photos.
02:12And then they decide to get a selfie on the tracks.
02:15They're standing between two sets of tracks.
02:18A westbound train comes thundering by.
02:21They wave at it.
02:22And while it's passing, they pull out a phone and snap a selfie.
02:26In the background of that photo, you can see another train.
02:30An eastbound train.
02:32On the track they're standing on.
02:34The noise, the wind, the vibration from the first train.
02:39It completely masks the second one.
02:41The crew of the eastbound train sees them.
02:44They slam on the emergency brake.
02:47They lay on the horn.
02:48But the girls don't react.
02:50They're completely oblivious.
02:53Seconds after that selfie was taken, the train hits them.
02:57Essa and Kelsey die instantly.
03:00Savannah, she survives.
03:02For a few days.
03:04She's in the hospital, on life support.
03:06But her brain injuries are too severe.
03:09Her family has to make the decision to let her go.
03:12And that photo, that last selfie, it's out there.
03:17You can find it online.
03:19The three of them, smiling, with the train that's about to kill them right there in the frame.
03:24It's, it's a ghost on film.
03:27A perfect smiling moment, with death literally seconds away.
03:33Colette Moreno.
03:35This one's weighing heavy.
03:37Not gonna lie.
03:38June 20th, 2014.
03:41Colette Moreno, 26.
03:44She's on her way to her own batch threat party at the Lake of the Ozarks.
03:48Her best friend, Ashley, is driving.
03:51Colette's getting married in five weeks.
03:53She has a five-year-old son.
03:55They're excited.
03:56They're happy.
03:57About eight minutes before the crash, Colette snaps a selfie.
04:01Her, in the passenger seat, smiling.
04:03Ashley, in the driver's seat, smiling in heart-shaped sunglasses.
04:07They get stuck behind a truck.
04:09The exhaust is bothering Colette's asthma.
04:12She's coughing.
04:13So Ashley decides to pass.
04:15On a two-lane road.
04:17With a double yellow line.
04:19Over a slight hill.
04:21As she pulls into the oncoming lane, a Dodge Ram pickup comes over the rise.
04:26They swerve.
04:27But it's too late.
04:29Head-on collision.
04:32Colette is critically injured.
04:33Ashley is mostly okay.
04:35They're both wearing seat belts, but the impact is just too severe.
04:40Colette is airlifted to the hospital.
04:42But she dies there.
04:43She never makes it to her bachelorette party.
04:45She never makes it to her wedding.
04:48And that selfie?
04:49It goes viral.
04:51The bride who died after a last selfie.
04:54People are brutal.
04:56They blame her.
04:57They mock her.
04:58But the truth is, it wasn't the selfie that killed her.
05:02It was a bad decision.
05:04A moment of impatience.
05:06A double yellow line.
05:07And a hill she couldn't see over.
05:09The selfie?
05:11It was just the last happy moment frozen in time before everything went wrong.
05:19Elisiveta Liza Gushchina.
05:21She survives the jump.
05:23That's the thing you need to understand.
05:25Elisiveta Gushchina.
05:2732 years old.
05:28Experienced rope jumper.
05:30Member of the Russian extreme sports team 23 block.
05:33August 30, 2025.
05:36Pavlovsk.
05:37Near St. Petersburg.
05:38An abandoned boiler house with a 300-foot chimney.
05:42She jumps.
05:43Bungee style.
05:4490 meters straight down.
05:47She's laughing.
05:48Shouting,
05:49Let's go!
05:51On video.
05:52She lands.
05:53Safe.
05:54Perfect.
05:56Her son Nikita is with her.
05:58He's part of the team too.
06:00They're celebrating.
06:01And then she decides she wants a photo.
06:04And no, not at the bottom.
06:06At the top.
06:07A victory selfie.
06:09So she climbs back up the chimney.
06:11This time, no harness, no ropes, no safety gear.
06:17Just her, the ledge, and her phone.
06:20She's posing.
06:22Her son is right there, watching.
06:25And then she slips.
06:2990 meters.
06:30That's 300 feet.
06:32The same distance she just jumped safely.
06:35But this time, there's no rope.
06:37There's no bungee cord.
06:39There's just gravity.
06:40And concrete.
06:42Her son watches her fall.
06:44The whole way down.
06:47The Russian Investigative Committee opens a case.
06:5023 Block posts a tribute.
06:52An experienced jumper and mother of two children.
06:55This is a very big tragedy for us.
06:58And the thing that gets me,
06:59she didn't die on the jump.
07:02The jump was fine.
07:03She nailed it.
07:04It was the photo.
07:06Climbing back up without gear,
07:08just to get that shot with her son.
07:09That's what killed her.
07:11You do the insane thing and walk away.
07:14And then you die doing something stupid.
07:16Something that didn't even need to happen.
07:20The bull running filming death.
07:23Spain.
07:24August 2015.
07:26Villaseca de la Sagra.
07:28A small town near Toledo.
07:30Festival weekend.
07:31Bull run.
07:33You know the drill.
07:34Bulls charging through narrow streets.
07:36Guys in white running for their lives.
07:38Tourists filming from balconies.
07:40It's tradition.
07:42It's also...
07:44Dangerous as hell.
07:46This guy, 32 years old.
07:48He's not running with the bulls.
07:50He's filming them.
07:51Phone out, trying to get that perfect shot.
07:54He steps into a side alley.
07:56Better angle.
07:57Better footage.
07:58His back is to the street.
08:00One bull breaks away from the herd.
08:02Comes up behind him.
08:04He's staring at his phone screen.
08:06Watching the bulls on the little display.
08:08Not watching...
08:10You know...
08:11The actual bulls.
08:12The bull gores him.
08:15Neck.
08:16Thigh.
08:16He goes down.
08:18Emergency crews are right there.
08:20They're always stationed along the route.
08:22But the neck wound...
08:23It's too deep.
08:25He bleeds out before they can save him.
08:28That weekend, four people died in bull runs across Spain.
08:32Four.
08:33But this guy...
08:34He wasn't even trying to be a hero.
08:36He wasn't testing his courage.
08:38He was just...
08:40Filming.
08:41Trying to get content.
08:43The footage probably captured the whole thing.
08:46The bulls running past.
08:48The moment the separated one turned toward him.
08:51Maybe even the charge.
08:52I don't know if anyone ever watched it.
08:54But I know this.
08:56He died staring at a screen.
08:58Completely unaware that the real danger was right behind him.
09:02Not in the frame.
09:03Behind the camera.
09:07Manohar Patel.
09:08Alright.
09:09We've officially gone from dumb to deluxe dumb.
09:14Chattisgarh, India.
09:15February 28th, 2021.
09:18A wild elephant and its calf wander into a village.
09:22The elephant has already killed an elderly woman earlier that day.
09:26It's agitated.
09:27It's dangerous.
09:29Forest officials are trying to drive it away.
09:31A crowd gathers to watch.
09:34And then there's Manohar Patel.
09:3621 years old.
09:38He and his three friends see an opportunity.
09:40They move closer to the elephant.
09:43To take a selfie.
09:45Phew.
09:46I mean.
09:47What do you even say to that?
09:49The elephant charges.
09:51The three friends run.
09:54Manohar?
09:54He doesn't.
09:56He hesitates.
09:57Or maybe he thinks he can get the shot.
10:00The elephant catches him.
10:02Knocks him down.
10:03And then it tramples him.
10:06He was trampled so badly that his ribs and internal organs
10:10were crushed, according to reports of the post-mortem.
10:13A slow, agonizing death.
10:16All for a selfie with an animal that had already killed someone that day.
10:20And the thing is, this isn't a one-off.
10:23It happens all the time in India.
10:25People trying to get selfies with elephants, bears, snakes.
10:30It's like they don't understand that these are wild animals.
10:33They're not props for your Instagram feed.
10:35They will kill you.
10:36And in Manohar's case, that's exactly what happened.
10:42Oscar Otero Aguilar.
10:45And finally, this one.
10:47Mexico City, 2014.
10:51Oscar Otero Aguilar.
10:5321 years old.
10:55His Facebook was full of photos of him with cars, alcohol, women,
11:00trying to project this flashy, badass image.
11:03One night, he's drinking with friends.
11:06And they're playing with a handgun.
11:08Oscar decides he wants a selfie.
11:10With the gun to his head.
11:12He thinks it's unloaded.
11:14Or maybe he just doesn't care.
11:16He's drunk.
11:17He's trying to look cool for the camera.
11:19He's posing.
11:20And then the gun goes off.
11:22He shoots himself in the head.
11:24In front of his friends.
11:26They call for help, but it's too late.
11:29He's pronounced dead at the hospital.
11:32And the thing is, this was one of the first selfie deaths to go viral.
11:37It was a warning.
11:38A sign of things to come.
11:40But nobody listened.
11:42People kept taking stupid risks for stupid photos.
11:45And they kept dying.
11:48Oscar Otero Aguilar.
11:50He died for a photo he never even got to post.
11:54He died trying to look like a badass.
11:57But there's nothing badass about a drunk kid with a gun to his head.
12:02There's just tragedy.
12:05And there's stupidity.
12:07And in this case, there was both.
12:09Who gives me acknowledging the evaluated.
12:09How much more immediateità than the experience?
12:10And unlike this shows,
