|

Definitely don't try this in your Jeep -- or any other vehicle for that matter. 

A video posted on YouTube by Alex Lopatnyuk shows what happens when you pay more attention to your selfie stick than the road ahead of you. 

"Gator hunting Jeep Wrangler first time GoPro selfie," Lopatnyuk wrote in the description.

First time... and perhaps his last. 

Check it out in the clip above.
