    Readers, climbing coconut trees is a " High risk " adventure... No matter how skilled you are, there is every chance that a tragedy may occur. This unfortunate victim lost his life.. I understand that there is a machine which can hoist a person, this gadget must be used despite it cost, as it will save precious lives.. RIP !!!

    The machine to climb the tree is available with so much subsidy in the horticulture department. That is much better than climbing with conventional bare foot climbing..

    Really so sad news. This profession is now a days declining due to risk involved in this work. No youngsters engage in this work only for the reason of the high risk. Rest in peace Dear Prakash anna.

    the gentleman fell from a tall tree which is an accident and professional hazard the lose of his life would have been a best escape given to the gravity of the situation. had he lived with such grievous injury his life and life of people depending on him would have been a nightmare. Death is a constant companion of every living being and we in India spiritually adore death than suffering of self as well as our well wishers because of us. Hence, we can pray for the departed soul for the peace in the eternal life and pray almighty god to give strength to his dependents and close family and friends to bear this lose.
