One of the most fun things in the world is to see influencers as soon as they stop recording their vacation shots or eating and the camera turns off, because suddenly you see how their expression, their life, their supposed happiness also turns off. But of course, when facing the phone you have to be the happiest, the funniest, the craziest, the best. And that’s how things happen, that if one has to fall off a bridge, well, they fall. That’s the life we have chosen.
May bridge
In this case it was Inessa Polenko, who had almost 10,000 followers on Instagram and used to take selfies continuously. In fact, it was the last thing she did in a small town in Georgia (United States) called Gragy. Polenko, 39, was looking for places where she could take new photos and videos for her social media when she decided to pass through a dangerous fenced area so that no one would make the mistake of crossing.
The influencer crossed the barrier, went to take a photo… and fell from a height of 50 meters, an accident that several people witnessed from a distance. Upon arriving at the scene, and despite their attempts to revive her, it was impossible to prevent her death. Normally, this would serve as a cautionary tale to prevent future deaths, but strangely enough, it creates a call effect. She is not the first influencer to die while trying to take a selfie where she shouldn’t… and probably won’t be the last.
In fact, in several countries they have already created areas where taking selfies is prohibited to prevent falls and unnecessary deaths. It’s great to have the coolest feed on Instagram, but please, you probably don’t need to risk your life for it.
