Two Russian climbers, Ivan Kuznetsov, 22, and Angela Nikolau, 23, scale the top of the 640-meter-tall Goldin Finance 117, which is under construction in North China's Tianjin Municipality, Aug. 23, 2016. The Russian couple started their climb at 3am and used both cameras and a drone to record the process. The skyscraper is expected to be the tallest building in China after construction is complete.

Edge of madness: It's a horrifying new trend
A face peers over the edge several hundred feet above me. It is a grown man gripped by a morbid elation as he looks down on a sheer drop to the rocks, the beach ¡ª where I am standing ¡ª and the sea.

What he can't see from his perch is that he is resting on an overhang, a lump of chalk protruding over thin air and a very long drop. At any minute, the ground might simply give way, as this famous English beauty spot has had a habit of doing since time immemorial.

Slowly a hand comes in to view and it is holding ¡ª what else? ¡ª a selfie-stick. Click. Moments later, the man has retreated back from the brink and moved on.

How much longer can it be before a new category is added to the list of verdicts available to a coroner? In addition to 'accident', 'misadventure' and 'open', there will soon be a new pronouncement: 'death by selfie'.

Last year, it was reported that the number of people killed by sharks around the world had, for the first time, been overtaken by the number of those killed while snapping themselves on a phone (and in a record year for shark attacks, too).

Pretty soon, no doubt, someone will kill two birds ¡ª and themselves ¡ª by taking a selfie with a shark moments before they are chomped to death.

But the number of narcissistic fatalities just keeps on rising. Last month alone, there were at least 15 selfie-related deaths.
