It's unusual to those of us who live far away from coconut palms, but I'd hardly consider it to be funny. Head trauma ≠ ROFL

"Since mature coconut palms may have a height of 24 up to 35 meters and an unhusked coconut may weigh 1 to 4 kg, blows to the head of a force exceeding 1 metric ton are possible."

agree with drpantzo: definitely NOT funny!

So what's the upshot? Do we need to increase the African swallow population in areas with Coconut palms? This would be ROFL if it were Monty Python related. Come back when someone does a study to determine whether a swallow could actually "grip it by the husk".

I know the author of this paper. It's a serious matter. Absolutely, head trauma is not funny.

My neice who was 8 months old was hit by the coconut on the head. Her grandmother brought her outside the house, then they didn't notice that the coconut fall off..I hate coconuts because it can kill humans. My 8 months old neice is under observation. This is happened in the philippines
