22% Leave Gear Unattended for Self-Filming

New research from Aviva reveals that 22% of individuals admit to leaving their cameras or phones unattended in public spaces to film or photograph themselves. Content creators and travel vloggers are identified as the primary groups engaging in this risky behavior, with 38% and 34% respectively admitting to it. The study also found that older demographics, specifically Gen X (41%), followed by millennials (40%) and Gen Z (38%), are the most likely to engage in this practice. Insurance claims may be impacted if gear is lost due to a lack of reasonable care.
