I watched your other video where the ride operator on this particular carousel ride twice tells riders to put their phones away. 🎠📵 It's so people don't end up losing their phones on the ride and that they can't be trusted to hold them while riding. And Cedar Point also prohibits sunglass-based cameras like Google Glass, Pivothead, OhO, etc. I do agree with the suggestion to leave such stuff with a non-rider, especially if you want to offer someone to take your picture or a video of yourself on the ride, while on the other hand that we can't offer the ride crew to take our pictures or a video of us on the ride, otherwise it will hold up operations and make other riders impatient. One time at Worlds of Fun in Kansas City, a middle-aged woman on the horse right in front of me while riding The Grand Carrousel took advantage of the ride operator and offered him to take a picture of her and her husband, which the ride operator should not have bought into it or at least informed her that it's against their policy; which later she then held the phone in her hand (but not in use) during the course of the ride, but the guy working it didn't stop it or ask her to put her phone away.
