well i banged my head off the steering wheel and i was really sore the next day, i thank god that i lived

oh and to the people who dont know anything, it was an emergency why i was going so fast in the rain

Answer 1

I can't imagine driving that fast on obviously wet roads, but here goes.

I would say your odds are slim to none that you would survive. By virtue of the fact you even asked the question tells me you aren't very experienced with driving in general.

The fact is, when you start hydroplaning, it is a scary thing, because you have no control, and you will be fast approaching the edge of the road on the left or the right. When you hit that, you are in serious trouble, unless by some miracle the car isn't sliding sideways by now. And even if it is going halfway straght, at that speed, just a little hiccup in the side of the road is going to really make things even more dangerous because now you really are going to be out of control and hope to God there is nothing in your path.
If by some miracle, you manage to keep your vehicle in a straight direction, even running off onto the edge can be deadly because you really haven't had a chance to begin slowing. And if it is wet, you won't be able to brake anyway. So hang on because it is going to be the roughest ride of your life, if you survive.

Answer 2

You very well could be. Or you could walk away going "Wow, what a ride." Of course if you are going down the interstate at 85 in the rain without seat belts, it's only a matter or time before you will be in the morgue or a jail cell.

Answer 3

You pretty much answered your own question.
You said you banged your head and were sore,therefore,you were injured.
Also,just the fact that you were going 85mph through a mass of water goes to show that you have no regard for yerself or other peoples lives.You should not have a license buddy.

Answer 4

most likely! it all depends on if there's a ditch, shoulder, trees, objects in general!

I know i had a motorcycle accident 4months ago: i was doing 120mph on a left turn, caught gravel on the back tire and went off the road into a 6' ditch. Don't remember much, but my bike ended upside down hanging on a barb wire fence. all that happened to me was 30 stitches on my left shin and i banged up my thigh pretty good that all the blood ran down internally into my knee! I'm back to 99% normal again!

It all depends on the situation and how "lucky" you are!

Answer 5

If you're seriously asking such a question, then you have WAY too much confidence in modern car safety technology. It would take a miracle for you to not be 'injured' to some degree in the scenario you are asking about. With some pretty common circumstances, 'killed' actually comes to mind as a possibility!

Answer 6

If you were standing on the top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris and you decided to just jump off the edge with no rope or parachute would you be injured?

I rest my case..

Answer 7

If you have to ask this question then first off get off the road so that you only kill yourself! Second lets just say if your higher power wants you alive you will live, if not well you know!

Answer 8

Depends on how you flew off the freeway, and what can be around for the vehicle to hit it, or someone else.

Answer 9

nope, you would be fine as long as you didnt hit anything, so then you can keep trying till you get it right

Answer 10

Depends on what's around you and how lucky you are. If you hit something you will be dead.
