That ith the thecond inthtanthe of "it" in that thententhe.  The firtht inthtanthe could refer to the theep or to the impathable object it landed on.  Granted, the thecond uthe could modulate the firtht uthe, but a little clarity ith preferred.  Thith ith why I abthtained rather than voted againtht.
