Just throw away your selfie sticks already. 

Monday, Calfornia Screamin’, a roller coaster at Disney’s California Adventure, was stopped for nearly two hours after someone pulled out a selfie stick while riding the attraction, according to ABC 7.  The park banned the devices last year because of safety concerns.

No one was hurt, but passengers had to be taken off one car at a time.

The ride was eventually reopened.
