Kills more than shark attacks? Be careful of the killer fruit

in #news7 years ago

Many people love this exotic fruit and it's also used as an ingredient for beauty products. This fruit has a reputation for killing around 150 people a year. Yes, 150 people are killed by falling coconuts. In fact, the risks are so real and fatal that in 2002, officials in Queensland, Australia, removed coconut trees from their beaches. If the falling coconuts do not kill, then they can cause serious injuries to the back and shoulders. To give you an idea how serious this is, falling coconuts kill more people than sharks.
