Even when you’re not likely to fall off a cliff, shooting selfies can be dangerous. Even in seemingly harmless conditions, selfies present risks that we should all be aware of.

Did you know that the “duck face” pose draws blood away from your eyes and impairs your vision? This and more selfie defense tips come in this humorous short video from Master Ken with assistance from “Millennial” Cathleen.

So, if you’re taking selfies for “Snatch chat”, now you can feel a little safer while doing so.

And, remember, if somebody’s creeping up behind you while you’re taking a selfie, it may only be an innocent photobomb, but why take the risk?
