About 150 people per year die after getting hit by a falling coconut. Considering that there are some 7.6 billion people on earth, that amounts to odds of 1 in 50.7 million. While coconuts can seem harmless, they can sometimes weigh close to five pounds and can fall from as much as about 100 feet (which is like an eight-story building), yielding a force roughly equal to a ton as the coconut hits the ground.
For example, if a coconut weighing 2 kg falls 25 meters onto a person’s head, the impact velocity is 80 km/hr. That is fast as a speeding car. A SPEEDING CAR!
It's a dangerous world we live in, boyos.
