Also, your number of coconut deaths are WORLDWIDE, not just in the US. As the entire world has (6800/300) 22 times the population of the US, that means approximately (150 / 22) 6.8 deaths a year in the US occur from coconuts.
MEANING, that in reality, in the US you are 2.5 times MORE LIKELY to be killed by a pit bull attack than a falling coconut. A bit different than the stats originally claimed, eh?
:)
Not even considering that coconuts palms maybe exist in Hawaii and parts of Florida in any significant numbers.
Do they account for swallows carrying coconuts?
Rotts kill more than Pits
look it up
Given that there are no coconut palm in the immediate KC area, I would be willing to bet that my being killed by a falling coconut are even less likely... I wonder what my odds are for being killed by a coconut wielding pit bull, given they don't have opposible thumbs.
