A liquid drop impacting a solid surface may splash by emitting a thin liquid sheet that subsequently breaks apart or by promptly ejecting droplets from the advancing liquid-solid contact line. Using high-speed imaging, we show that air pressure and surface roughness influence both splash mechanisms. Roughness increases prompt splashing at the advancing contact line but inhibits the formation of the thin sheet. If the air pressure is lowered, droplet ejection is suppressed not only during thin-sheet formation but for prompt splashing as well. The threshold pressure depends on impact velocity, liquid viscosity and surface roughness.
