It's a style thing, popular amongst people that have **** for brains. Not good for handling, not safe, not something anybody with a functional brain would try but that doesn't stop these morons.

More stupid ****:

I visited the site in kach22i's post and saw this image.



My guess would be a heck of an explosion a few decades ago.

Not a bad guess, but post explosion pictures look very different.

Long term wind has more of a bending affect.

Or just growing around another tree.

Worldrecordtour, Oceania, Pacific, Papua New Guinea, Port Moresby, Milne Bay, Highlands, Morobe, Lae, Picture, Story, Diary, Guinness Book of World Records, Toyota, LandCruiser, Emil Schmid, Liliana Schmid


Any number of crazy effects are possible.

funny, back in the day my father would park his '64 Chevy station wagon's bumper up against a palm tree in our front yard. We after week he would lean the car harder against it til eventually the palm tree grew in an arch like the above pictures. Pretty cool
