Default Skipping stones across water, But with a tC? Fail INC thread, open at own risk!

So I get a call from Kenny "Rent-a-reaper" today

Me: Hey, whats happening
Him: I feel like I got run over by a truck
Me: Que Paso?

He apparently was going to pick up his son last night, and was going down a rather rural road in TN (come on, all the roads are "rather rural" in TN) around 50 (the posted speed limit) when three rabid zombie deer wearing birthday hats jumped infront of his car. He missed two but the third one met the front of his car, we can guess who won that one...

but its not over yet

at this point in missing the two, he is now not headed in his normal direction, straight off the road, with no control of the car. Car went down a 4-5 ft drop into a field, jerking the wheel from his hand, and causing the car to skip across the grass, coming to a nice soft landing..............in a small lake.

He managed to get out of the car, and by the time he got to the shore the only thing above the water was 6" of his antenna

Thankfully hes fine, and that his son wasnt with him, otherwise this coulda been alot worse

TL:DR

tC got attacked by rabid, zombie, attack deer with birthday hats
tC thought it could fly, couldnt
Kenny tried to be James Bond, forgot he wasnt in a submarine Aston Martin
Kenny's alright
Damage should buff out

Trying that without the optional Submersible dealer package is just asking for trouble.
