A Guy Was Killed When His Selfie Stick Was Struck By Lightning

Selfie sticks finally crossed the line from obnoxious to deadly.  It was just a matter of time.  And maybe . . . just maybe . . . we’re okay with that?

A guy from England was hiking a mountain in Powys, Wales this weekend when a thunderstorm suddenly hit.

And apparently he took out his selfie stick to get a sweet picture of himself in the storm.  Because let’s face it . . . that’s just what you do in 2015 when you’re hiking a mountain in Wales during a thunderstorm.

But his selfie stick had some metal in it . . . so it was basically like he was holding up a lightning rod.

And right on cue, a bolt of lightning hit the selfie stick . . . traveled through his body . . . and killed him on the spot.

There you have it . . . the world’s first “death by selfie stick.”  And something tells us it won’t be the last.
