Selfies — it has been speculated — kill more people each year than we realize. Now, footage taken by a woman in Japan shows how close she was to being the next selfie fatality.

And believe it or not, she almost recorded her own demise.

Kelly Murphy was snowboarding in Japan's Hakuba 47 Winter Sports Park near the city of Nagano when what is believed to have been an Asian black bear jumped out from behind the top of a mountain and began chasing her down the slope.

Murphy, humming Rihanna's "Work," was completely unaware throughout the experience as she filmed herself going down the mountain.

I don't know how to post this video, but do click on the link and you can see out snowboard the bear!

1. It is, probably, for the best that she was unaware ...

the fear might have caused her to tighten up and fall.

5. Yep.

I would have fallen right away just by over thinking "don't fall, don't fall, don't fall..."

6. she did look like she was having fun

I'll bet she freaked out when she saw her video!

9. Definitely a lesson in how to be

chased by a bear -- completely unaware. That's definitely how I'd want it.

2. EGADS!

That was something! I think I would swear off snowboarding or Rihanna or maybe reverse the camera now and then? Wow!

7. YW!

I am a wee bit skeptical, though.



Edit: I think it is totally fake.

10. Why do people insist on wearing headphones EVERYWHERE?

Why completely isolate yourself from your surroundings? I don't understand. It seems unsafe to be completely unaware of your surroundings.

11. There usually isn't a lot to hear when snowboarding

I wear my headphones snow skiing, running, sitting on airplanes, etc.

Nothing wrong with it.

12. "Selfies — it has been speculated — kill more people each year than we realize."

A whole new category of Darwin Award!

14. It's a good thing she didn't know, imagine the performance pressure that would caused.

15. It'd be hard to not freak out...

[Drahthaardogs]

16. Fake.

Bogus growling being looped and that is a grizzly not an Asian black bear.
