    >> A red hot, pea-sized piece of rock then hit his hand before bouncing off and causing a foot wide crater in the ground.

    That's crazy. I don't understand how it didn't take his hand off.

    I agree with the skeptics here. If it left a crater in the ground he wouldn't have his hand (scientists, feel free to chime in). I call BS.

    Why didn't you just link the actual article?

    I'm perplexed as to how it was going fast enough to leave a 1 foot wide crater in the ground, but only left a scar on his hand. I would think anything hitting your hand at 30,000mph would simply rip your hand off?
