If a sufficiently powerful cosmic ray struck the air above you, would the radiation shower be enough to be lethal?

I hear some cosmic rays have the energy of baseballs or even trucks on a highway.  If one of those hit in the atmosphere and produced a particle shower, I presume it would not be good for living creatures underneath?

How many Bananas would one have to eat to get radiation poisoning?

We were in physics a few days ago and we were studying radioactivity, our teacher mentioned that even bananas contain radioactive elements. So I was wondering, how many bananas do you theoretically have to eat to get radiation poisoning?
