Not so. Small rocks can have low terminal velocities. Even if the enter the atmosphere at many thousands of miles per hour, small rocks will land slow enough not to kill you with a direct hit. I believe that for a fixed density, terminal velocity rises exponentially so large rocks are going to vaporise you. There is a report on wiki of a boy who claimed a rock landed on his head after passing through some palm leaves in a metiorite shower. He got away with a bruise.
