We are now living in in a society where everything has to be
documented and then posted on social media. Often times, attempting to
nab that perfect photo tends to be very dangerous and deadly.
17-year-old Andrey Retrovsky was known for being a thrill seeker. He was
part of a popular group in his hometown called ‘Roofers’. The group
would take daring selfies from the rooftops of high-rise buildings, much
of which they would sneak in illegally.
Recently in Volga, Russia, Retrovsky had climbed on top of a building
with a friend in an attempt to take a photo that made it seem as though
he was falling from the roof. The young man was secured with a rope,
but when the rope unfortunately failed, Andrey fell nine stores to the
ground.
While some nearby bushes were able to cushion his fall,
the teenager eventually died from extensive injuries two hours later
while he was being treated at a hospital.
