Selfies — it has been speculated — kill more people each year than we realize. Now, footage taken by a woman in Japan shows how close she was to being the next selfie fatality.

Well, sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you as the saying goes.

If the bear gets too noisy, just crank up those tunes.

It is fake because if she were really a snowboarder she would be sitting on her butt and blocking the run.

Yes, I dislike snowboarders.

I second that!
All too many of them make runs icy, by scraping off the good snow.
Ski at Alta, they ban snowboarders.

Me too. That's why we love skiing at Deer Valley.

What's the difference between a snowboard and a vacuum cleaner?

The size of the dirtbag attached to it.

Yes, I skied Alta all the time back before the arthritis set in. Nice family place to ski.

How is this a "selfie fatality"???? She's not putting herself in danger because she's taking a selfie.

I have no idea why snowboarders think it is OK to simply sit down in the middle of a run. That is like parking your car in the middle of the freeway to take a break. They are brain-damaged people.

It is more of a “Go-Pro” instead of a selfie...
