I must have been under a rock yesterday because for some reason I did not see anything about this story until he had already passed. Seemed like he was really starting to get his life back on track. Really sad.....RIP Slim!!!!!

I hope this sends a message to all pickup truck drivers, particularly teenage ones..... the truck bed is for cargo, not for passengers.

SAY IT AIN'T SO!!! Wink

That really sucks. MAN, the Bengals are cursed.

A better message from this is that it is very stupid and potentially lethal to attempt to jump into the bed of a moving truck.

Perhaps a better message to be taken from this...if your rich fiancee who pays all your bills falls out of the back of the truck your driving and is laying in the road, you should probably stop to see if he could use some medical assistance.

Good point.  The question is, did he fall out of the truck bed immediately after jumping into it, or did he fall out later?  The article does say that he was found a half a mile down the road from his house but he jumped into the truck bed as his fiance was driving away from his house.

Why would you do such a thing? Don't you know anything about "ghetto love"? LOL!

The police are investigating the 911 calls in this case.  Turns out there was a call regarding him beating on the cab of the truck, then another call about him lying in the street unconscious. 

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4750615

My guess is that they got into it, she jumped in the truck to drive away, he went after her, jumped on the truck bed, and started beating on it.  Then she either swerved or hit a bump and knocked him off and kept going.

Can you really fall out of a truck by hitting a bump, though?  Physics doesn't really work like that.  Your momentum keeps you going the same speed as the truck.  With no information, I would postulate that he was trying to gain access to the cab, possibly trying to crawl in through a window or climb over the top or something.

If you are standing up in a pickup a sharp turn, a quick accelaration, hard braking, or just being drunk would be enough to fall out.  And I would bet dollars to donuts he was not sober during this.

Hoodie is right.  Think about it, you're standing up in a truck bed trying to beat on the top of the cab, all of a sudden, the truck stops suddenly or accelerates suddenly or hits a bump.... that'll knock you off balance and you can easily fall out.

I don't know about Henry, but the drummer from Def Leopard only had had one good arm.
