Selfie Sticks

I keep seeing videos online of motorcycle riders making videos of themselves - while riding - using a selfie stick.

Maybe they know what they are doing, maybe they don't.

But in my opinion...it's absurd. Just don't do it, people.

Typical example.

Selfie sticks and duck lips.....gotta love it.
Sheesh ;)

If that rider crashes and burns, EMS may be dealing with an impalement with a camera at the end.

As Forrest Gump would say "Stupid is as stupid does".

I wonder how much wind drag is on it. Also want to see an "oh sh*t" moment from that view.

Selfie sticks are now being banned in many places because they can be dangerous.

recently on holiday in florence surrounded by wonderful
human creations, on interesting thing was people selling
selfie sticks to anyone/everyone..

secondary function taking images of the beauty,
primary function taking images of self,,
standing near the beauty..

nothing new, just an extension of that self interest..
some people will no doubt be recording all sorts of things,
ie, themselves,, doing all sorts of things..
including riding a motorcycle...

laws exist in various countries for using hand held
electronic devices while driving..
based on thousands of unnecessary deaths
and injuries due to distracted driving..
if your society has no such laws yet,
it is due to the lag between realities
and legislative responses..

there are motorcycle and helmet mounted cameras
for anyone wishing to record their rides and/or
the area or scenery of beauty etc of their rides..

someone using a selfie stick to record themself
while riding a motorcycle is clearly missing,
something.. 'self' something..
