Sharks V Coconut Deaths

For all those who are travelling to Australia it maybe safer in the water than sitting on the beach according to this poster that is appearing on bus shelters around Oxford at the moment.  More people die each year from falling coconuts than sharks.  But do they mean that more people die each year from falling coconuts than sharks? Not sure tell me what you think?

Logically there are more failling coconuts than falling sharks. :)

I think what you're getting at is that it could mean that more people are killed by falling coconuts than are killed by sharks, or that more people than sharks are killed by falling coconuts.
