"bouncing off" [his hand] was clearly a poor choice in phrasing by the writer.
any other questions?

common, what were you trying to explain with this one? "the picture is the "meteor" in his hand... not a picture of the hole in the ground it "caused"
Not only it didn't bounce of him, but the meteorite itself didn't touch him.. All he has is a small burn mark from the heat it produced... and the impact on the ground then knocked him flying.. This is a poorly written article and to question it's validity or accuracy by asking "how could it bounce off his hand, produce a crater in the ground and only leave a burn mark?" is in my opinion legitimate... 6 laughing smileys? common man.. get over yourself..
