In this paper, it is indeed reported that a drop can bounce on a leaf, but the characteristics of the shock are not described (in particular, the restitution coefficient). Besides, it is claimed that a large impact velocity is necessary for bouncing to occur, which is clearly not the case in fig. 1.
