  That's what I thought, too, but it's apparently an urband legend. [1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_by_coconut https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_by_coconut

    No, it's not an urban legend. Commercial properties prune their palm trees regularly to avoid falling coconuts. Though I worry more about jacktrees. Their melons can weigh over 100 pounds!
