Trying to photograph yourself against the backdrop of another sight almost ended in a fatal outcome. A fourteen-year-old tourist from the UK fell from a height of 500 m trying to make a selfie during an excursion to the Melltal ice glacier in Austria.

During the ascent to Mount Sharek, at an altitude of 2, 6 thousand meters, the British teenager wanted to capture himself against the background of the Austrian Alps. Being in the company of five friends and a ski instructor, the student took a few steps back, holding the smartphone on his outstretched hand, and did not notice how he was on the edge of the cliff.

As a result, the young tourist fell from the cliff, but, by a fluke, a flight from a height of 500 m brought the teenager only bruises and abrasions.
