Well I'll be damned. Looks like some dope found out the hard way to not climb a palm tree unless you know what you're doing. 

I don't think this guy was trimming the palm tree. 

 

People can die while trimming palm trees due to suffocation from falling fronds. This can happen when workers climb a tree and trim fronds from the bottom up. 

 

How it happens

• When a worker cuts or pulls on dead fronds, other fronds can collapse and trap the worker. 
   
• The weight of the fronds can crush the worker's chest. 
   
• Fronds can weigh hundreds of pounds each, and when they collapse, their combined weight can be as much as one ton.
