Galway Bay fm newsroom - Four people in Galway broke their wrist in one week last year while taking selfies.
The finding published in the Irish Medical Journal reveals that the injuries were incurred on the opposite arm to that holding the phone.
This suggests the selfie enthusiast was trying to save their phone when the fracture took place.
One of the four incidents involved a teenage girl who collided with her friend while on a trampoline.
