Hydroplaning Downsouth

[RobDownSouth]

Spent a wonderful Christmas week with GF and her family at her place. Rented a car to visit my Mom a few days afterwards.

Never made it.

I hydroplaned off the road at about 60 mph into a ditch. Police report says I flipped the car multiple times. Spent 3 days in a trauma center in NW Florida. No broken bones but plenty of staples in my bald head. Seat belts save lives! Broke something called a traverse process in my back, which makes my back feel "burned".

Gory pictures of the wreck and me are on FB.

Laptop that had my Deadpool software was destroyed..I will restore from my cloud backup once I have enough energy to go buy a replacement at BestBuy.

Deadpool = Bad JuJu

On the upside, lots of nurses and orderlies get to see you without your shirt on!

Ouch!

Hate the bad luck!

Cars can hydroplane after 50MPH. Still safer than driving on Ice!

Get well soon!

Did you buy the Damage Waiver on the Rental?

 

[Pookie]

Get well soon, Rob.

Yikes, dude. I'm glad you're healing and had you seatbelt on.

Nothing feels like hydroplaning in a car - horrible experience. Glad you're alive and on the mend!

 

[Aglaopheme]

Dang. I can't even imagine. I have hydroplaned, but only for a moment. Fully and speedy recovery to you.
