Can a meteorite fall into a body having the gravity and thin atmosphere of Mars and remain intact ? “Why not ?” is the question I’m left with …

I nearly backflipped when he said that, my first thought was "what about shallow angle impacts??" IE: HOBA?
It was a little misleading i thought!

PS.......Kraken Mare (is it pronounced Crack-en mayor or the poofy sounding mah-ray?)
