A man died on Punta Uva Beach after falling while attempting to climb a palm tree. The incident was captured on video and went viral over the national holiday weekend.

You would think that the entire palm section of the tree missing would have been a glaring indication of its weakness and lack of ability to bear weight but short bus sees it as an opportunity to try and shimmee up it.

Yep, I thought landing on sand would save him. He landed kinda head first at a weird angle, I wonder if it broke his neck...

Dude didn't even get a coconut out of the deal.

The immediate, and determined reaction of those around him to offer assistance and help, is truely heart warming.

In this case, luck played a key role: although the man remained lying on the sand after the blow, witnesses reported that he later regained consciousness.
