In a bizarre twist of fate, a tourist attempting to snap a selfie on Huaying Mountain in China ended up making headlines for all the wrong reasons.

His post included a colorful description of rolling down the slope, reflecting on how close he came to death, and thanking the“mountain Gods”for his survival. This story serves as a reminder of the risks of capturing life’s most thrilling moments—but sometimes, those moments can take quite an unexpected turn.

Through all this madness, it’s hard not to wonder: is the perfect selfie worth risking your safety? One thing’s for sure—this tourist won’t be forgetting this selfie attempt anytime soon.
