    I was on a small ship that lost steering and we hit a couple banana trees. Does that count?

    when they brought bananas over seas they brought poisonous spiders with them that often bit passengers resulting in death....the bananas would sometimes rot on the trip causing build up of natural gases that would be explosive....lantern comes down into the hull...boom...those are just a few examples that contributed to this superstition
