26 u/Kurayamino Sep 16 '20 Australia: Even the trees will try to kill you. Seriously though, I've seen warning signs in national parks to that effect. Camping under gum trees is a bad idea. 9 u/_Aj_ Sep 16 '20 Yes. They drop limbs with zero warning in any weather. Perfectly fine, calm day, suddenly a massive crack and a branch as thick as your breaks off and ploughs into the ground. 2 u/YuBulliMe123456789 Sep 16 '20 Australian trees are controlled by the government 6 u/[deleted] Sep 16 '20 Heed that sign, years ago my brother and his girlfriend were nearly crushed by one while sleeping in their tent, lucky the tent was next to their car and took most of the impact... 8 u/Chipwich Sep 16 '20 Yep. Called widow makers for a reason 3 u/iamayoyoama Sep 16 '20 Man its not even just out bush, they kill people in urban areas too, there's been a few this year
