They are great privacy busters. I have tried to steer a coracle. It was pretty stable and I didn't fall out as I did when my canoe decided to follow an eddy in a river when I was going round a fallen tree. The canoe went under the tree. I didn't.

Last year I got two for twenty pounds. The lad in EE said do you want the SIM cards I didn't but took them anyway. Good job I did the last phone disaster set fire to the old SIM. I have lots still to go but am on my last phone.

I think a good one could be built to carry a GOPro for about a grand you would have to add the cost of the camera, which is half as much again.
