Be careful coconut falling in the head is one of the top death reasons in the world a thing

Edit: For the sceptic ones https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_by_coconut

Edit2: I removed part of my statement as I don't have the numbers to justify it

Never in my 31 years of life has that thought crossed my mind, until now. Thanks for unlocking a new fear in me :)

yes I read the wiki :)

I have actually never ever seen a coconut fall from a tree. To me, they just quietly teleport from the top to the floor

It’s extremely, extremely rare - doesn’t even need to be a worry. There is literally less than one documented case per year in the whole world.

People think it’s an issue, to the point of putting up warning signs, but that’s essentially all driven by urban legend.
