Sucks. Stupid as sticking his head out might have been, he was just a kid having a good time with friends.
Sad to hear it.

I can smell the lawsuit. But common sense says don't stick appendages out of a moving vehicle.

I hope that they do not punish the transport company or the security guard. The guy was an idiot and it is only his fault that he offed himself.

I tried to come up with a one liner for this, but the best I could come up with was;
"I guess you could say... he should've used his head"

This just in, kids family awarded 2.7 million dollars and the security guard was fired. Family is contemplating a civil suit against him for negligence as well. Clearly not their sons fault.

I remember something like this happening in downtown Toronto a couple of years ago with a rented regular bus or party bus...guy stuck his head out the window, then the bus started moving forward and hit his head against a pole or something.

People shouldn't be allowed to sue for this kind of shit. It really ticks me off that these families think they're entitled to millions over an accident that was the kid's own damn fault. There's a lot of things wrong with the times these days.

My father told me when I was a young boy never to stick any appendages outside of a moving vehicle of any kind. He told me a horrific story of when he was on a school bus and a boy was riding with his head out the window, and hit a telephone poll on the side and it was completely ripped off.

Conclusion: if you're a "child" (despite being 16 years old), a woman or a minority, you are never responsible for your actions.
Conclusion: The United States Justice system is broken.

In NYC we used to have many cases of this in the subway with kids "trainsurfing." They'd climb up on top of the subway cars and lay down and ride through the tunnels. Every now and then you'd have someone knocked off or beheaded by a signal light or something.
Bottom line, these kids were warned several times, and one of them STILL stuck his head out. Of course, the parents will sue and claim there should have been a lock on the hatch, thus defeating the purpose of having an emergency hatch in case of an accident and they need to get out of the vehicle in a hurry. This is tragic and sad, but neither the bus company or the guard should face repercussions from this. Family and friends are just going to have to live with the fact that he did something really careless and lost his life. Cautionary tale if there ever was one.
