Seflie sticks have pretty much been rendered useless following bans from festivals, nightclubs and other places just screaming for a high profile snap of yourself.
But before you go snapping it in half, read this: A selfie stick has helped save the life of a teenage girl.

She didn’t let her stick go throughout the entire time she was having difficulties.
Then, out of no where, a mystery man grabs the stick and pulls her to safety.
He then disappears and swims out to sea to rescue her dad.
Derrick collapses on the beach as a crowd swarms. They were both taken to hospital and are recovering well.
Derrick said: ‘I did a few tours overseas with the Marines, and I never felt that kind of fatigue or fear.’
