According to Coconut Information, that belief is just a myth.
But it's hard to get a definitive answer as it is also circumstantial, right?
Here's a little more information on whether falling coconuts kill more people than sharks per year:
Falling coconuts kill 150 people worldwide each year, 15 times the number of fatalities attributable to sharks. The reality is that, on the list of potential dangers encountered in aquatic recreation, sharks are right at the bottom of the list.”- George Burgess, Director of the University of Florida’s International Shark Attack File

We'll let you decide, but if you're ever in the vicinity of a coconut, we suggest you play it safe and rather not put the myth to the test!
