I live in Wellington, and I was nearly killed by a palm tree branch while at the Wellington Amphitheater. A palm tree branch weighing 80 pounds fell five feet behind me as I walked on the path flanking the amphitheater. The path poses as a great danger to the traffic that passes during concerts, movies, etc… Thousands of people, including small children, constantly use this walkway.
Dozens of huge palm trees flank the small pathway, which is perhaps five feet wide. Considering palm trees are self-grooming, it is only a matter of time before someone gets killed by the heavy falling branches!

Seriously?
Suggestion: Stay inside if living bothers you so much.
