The outward-pointing principal null direction of the Schwarzschild Riemann tensor is null hypersurface-forming. If the Schwarzschild mass spontaneously jumps across one such hypersurface then the hypersurface is the history of an outgoing light-like shell. The outward-- pointing principal null direction of the Kerr Riemann tensor is asymptotically (in the neighbourhood of future null infinity) null hypersurface-forming. If the Kerr parameters of mass and angular momentum spontaneously jump across one such asymptotic hypersurface then the asymptotic hypersurface is shown to be the history of an outgoing light-like shell and a wire singularity-free spherical impulsive gravitational wave.
