When Roger launched the boulder from the top of Castle Rock "with a sense of delirious abandonement," it struck Piggy a "glancing blow" and the conch "exploded into a thousand white fragments and ceased to exist." Piggy then travelled sideways through the air and fell forty feet to land on his back on the square rock in the sea. "His head opened and stuff came out and turned red."
Because Piggy knows how to blow the conch but Ralph is the one who actually blows the conch
When Ralph first spots the conch in the lagoon Piggy tells him, "I knew a boy who had one of those, on his garden wal it was, they are ever so valuable." He later tells Ralph that the boy, "he used to blow it to make a noise," and explains to Ralph that the boy blew from his diaphragm in order to get a noise from the conch shell. So although Ralph actually finds, recovers and blows the conch. Piggy identifies it correctly and informs Ralph that it can be blown.
