Disney has banned selfie sticks from its theme parks over safety concerns in United States.
Disney park spokeswoman said, “Handheld extension poles have become a growing safety concern for both our guests and cast.” The ban comes into effect at Disney parks in the United States on Tuesday.
Paris and Hong Kong will follow suit on Wednesday. The long arm of a selfie stick helps users take a better self-portrait but there are fears that they could cause injury if somebody was accidentally struck with one during a photo opportunity.
