Philae's Flight - Hits & Landings

Following further information from the ROMAP instrument on Philae, it appears she hit the comet twice with one of her feet during her travels. Once 46 minutes after the first touchdown and also just before the second touchdown. I have adjusted my illustration to suit. It is all a gross approximation, but gives an idea of what happened.
