[quote]Food Network star/producer Marc Summers is grateful to be alive after sustaining serious facial injuries during a car accident last week.
The 60-year-old star, who currently hosts The Food Network's "Unwrapped," was a passenger in a taxi cab in Philadelphia when the vehicle hydroplaned during a "torrential downpour," Summers told People.
"Everything on the left side from my eye socket down was just wiped out," he told the mag. "My eye socket got all swollen. I'm having trouble seeing completely out of the left eye... There's lots of titanium and screws in my face."[/quote]

Marc summers was the host of Double Dare and Unwrapped. I'm so glad he didn't die
This is why speed limits are only to be traveled at under ideal conditions. If it's raining or snowing or foggy, slow the fuck down!
A miracle he didn't die though.
He also has Marc Summers Productions, which has a hand in like half the shit on Food Network.
One of the unsung heroes of 2am hunger.

Okay....that isn't entirely true. You drive at the speed that you are comfortable traveling at. Personally, I know that rain doesn't normally phase my ability to travel at the posted speed limits. Granted, I increase following distance, but I don't necessarily slow down. Fog and snow are two totally different beasts though. I don't fuck with them.
With improper drainage or really heavy rain it can be a problem. The only experience I've got for shitty driving weather is florida, where every summer the subpar drainage turns into small ponds to drive through. A little weird when the water is almost up to your door.
holy fuckshit marc summers, you can't die on us.
you hosted double dare.
you're immortal.
I used to really feel bad for the guy. He has severe OCD, and yet he worked on three shows (Double Dare, Super Sloppy Double Dare, and What Would You Do?) that required him to be splattered in slime several times an episode, sometimes to the point of being covered from head to toe in Nickelodeon's signature "Gak." In an interview a few years back, he confessed that when the commercials would roll, he'd run backstage, and scrubbed until he bled. Every damn time.
Those shows must have been a living hell for him.

Would be nice if we had digital speed limit signs which changed dependant on the conditions of the road.
