AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Decorative enamel plate 'Caution Falling Coconut' from Seychelles.
Dimensions 37 x 31 cm
Condition: somewhat weathered, but that adds to the appearance.
will be shipped well packaged.
Tourist information
In the Seychelles, you should indeed be cautious of falling coconuts; they can damage cars (break windows, cause dents) and injure people, so never park under coconut trees and be careful on beaches where they grow; there are even more people who die from coconuts than from sharks, so be aware of your surroundings, especially near coconut trees.
Why is it a risk?
Weight: Coconut nuts, especially the Coco de Mer (giant coconut), can be heavy (up to 25 kg) and fall from great heights.
Impact: A falling coconut can cause serious damage to cars (windows, bodywork) and is dangerous for pedestrians.
Comparison: It is often said that more people die worldwide from falling coconuts than from sharks, which underscores the seriousness of the issue.
Note well: EU sale only!
