Lifes a beach...and then a coconut?



  • One in 10 people in the world live on an island

  • Falling coconuts reach speeds of up to 50 miles per hour


  • Each year, 150 people are struck and killed by a falling coconut. That's 10 times the number of people killed by shark attacks.


  • Your odds of becoming a victim of one of these fruit is 1/250,000,000

Death by coconut. This probably isn't bizarre in say, Tonga. What a way to go out.

You know, with my luck... I'd be the one to get struck by a coconut while visiting an island :)

This was good randomness.
