Pour une pierre en mouvement, tanguer ou dévier vers l'un des côtés de la piste plutôt que de demeurer au centre. 3, record 1, French, - tomber
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
On dit d'une pierre qu'«elle tombe» car la glace en côté de piste est légèrement convexe et que cette particularité l'entraînerait en sortie de piste. Par contre, «sortir une pierre volontairement» suppose que le lancer a intentionnellement été ainsi dirigé (cas peu probable) : c'est la pierre qui tombe mais le curleur qui la sort volontairement. 3, record 1, French, - tomber
