Dangerous Beaches - the answer

I set a puzzle a couple of days ago. What is more dangerous than sharks or jellyfish on an australian beach?

Answer, coconuts. Apparently people sit down in the shade of a coconut tree and have their heads annointed by the hard falling fruit. And it really stings; for 120 people in the previous year it was the last thing that happened to them. That is against around 7 or so killed by sharks.
