Subject: [meteorite-list] has this ever happened to you?

I was getting ready to go meteorite hunting today and I just had to
put my boots on. I had two rare earth magnets and put one in each back
pocket so they wouldn't stick together. I have this nice felt lined
red box with a handle and a metal clasp that I carry some of my
meteorites in. I like to show them off and teach landowners what to
look for. Its a pretty big box that nicely fits two 1kg chondrites, a
big Canon Diablo and an assortment of other smaller stones.  I grabbed
the red box and headed for the garage. As I turned around the doorway
one of the magnets in my pocket stuck to the clasp on the box. As I
moved, the box opened and a 1kg Canon Diablo fell on my toe. It hurt
like $%!+, but I still went out hunting anyway.

Would this be considered an impact event?
