Hydroplaning=bad
Well after such an event I have two flat tires and a right side mirror taken clean off and busted in half. oh and only a couple of small marks otherwise so far.... to go back to it in the morning... (by the way I think a road sign is dead.)

What kind of water was it?
A huge puddle? Up here theres divots in the road so if you leave ground you'll level out onto the hilly road lengths, so it's not so dangerous, but you are correct hydroplaning in general is bad.

BIG puddle about 4 car lengths and deep enough to be to the bottom of the doors

Must have hit the curb pretty hard. Was there a curve nearby or did it just vere off to one side uncontrollably?
