what was he doing on the tail gate?

Jack9, somewhere (11/21/2009 10:24:10 AM)

I agree my youngest will be 22 monday, he still is accident prone. 3 auto accidents this year... This is still after i check his where about 3 times aday and what he is up to with alot of pray. My condolenses to his parents. Our children don't think of the consequences to their actions.

Same thing happened just the other day here. Girl is in Tulsa in hospital. Fractured skull. I'm thinking this is more common than we think.

makattack, Tulsa (11/21/2009 11:19:37 AM)

Read between the lines, folks. Teenagers, truck, private driveway, night. He didn't just fall off a tailgate, he was bed-surfing and fell out. Or worse, got thrown out.

My condolenses to his parents. but a truck that big you would have figured out he could have riding on the inside

ranay22, Ponca City (11/21/2009 12:55:20 PM)

what is bed surfing?

Nim, Jenks (11/21/2009 1:19:04 PM)

oh.. like you weren't dumb and ludicrous once??????

Few Clothes, America (11/21/2009 2:00:44 PM)

This was popular in the 1950's when I was a boy. Riding on the tailgate and hood seemed to be the rage.

well, you should be able to do stupid stunts at "15" and get a pass every now and then. However, reality sinks in occasionally. I do feel for the family.

Flyover Me, (11/21/2009 3:38:29 PM)

And, parents, you cannot supervise your teens all the time. I do think there may be a case of holding the driver of the vehicle somewhat "liable". He obviously was licensed, and the 15 year old was just goofing off.

ranay22, Ponca City (11/21/2009 4:41:17 PM)

nope, Never was dumb enough to put myself in that kind of danger, but then I was raised by very strict parents. I didn't even see my first movie until I was 17 years old. When I was that age, I was playing sports all year round, Not surfing off a tailgate of a pickup truck that may make me a boring individual. But I guess do whatever floats your boat. That is why they have sky diving and other dangerous hobbies.

I did not know the kid that got killed, but I do know the driver. It was just a freak accident! The driver feels really bad...He tried to help him the best he could. He ended up holding him thru his last breath. The driver feels awful over what happen. So people, please lighten up and stop talking bad about the kids if you don't know them or know what happend. Just please keep these familes in your prayers. Thank you.

geres wat really happened you retarted ppl who think you know everything zane was a great kid he never got in trouble he and his mom were closer than anything int he world!him and his two friends were taking trash out for his mom the cattle drive was right by his house they didnt realize that he had fallen out until it was to late you ppl dont no anything about zane barnes or wat happened that night accidents happen!!!!!!

heather_reynolds15, (11/21/2009 9:01:26 PM)

okay first of all zane went to school at wynnewood. and second, unless you know this kid like we do, you have no right to judge him sayin oh he was prolly bed surfing or people need to watch their kids more. None of you know the real story so grow up and quit saying stupid stuff. he fell off the truck when it went over the cattle guard. he was a very great kid that never got in trouble, and khini and dillon did nothing to harm him. it was AN ACCIDENT. it's nobody's fault. it was just his time to go. God needs him more in heaven than he does on earth. I've never seen that kid sad or upset a day in my life. He was always smiling. he never had a problem with anyone. but ACCIDENTS DO HAPPEN. just because some of you made bad mistakes when you were young that you regret today, doesn't mean that your kids are goin to do it. so open up your eyes. you may learn something.

shortstuff, (11/21/2009 9:07:00 PM)

heathers right you ppl do need to grow up me and her know him to be a happy guy!!! him and dillion used to run around together all the time he used to sit across from me on the bus and we would talk about wat we did that day or wat we were goona do afterschool he always wore a smile that could knock ur socks off he loved his mom with all of his heart his mom went out their last night and saw him laying thier and she new that he was gone so shut up and grow up cuz you must not know wat its like to lose a friend its hard he is the happiest kid i no

Nickie, (11/21/2009 9:54:17 PM)

Condolences to the family and great sounding friends.

Few Clothes, America (11/22/2009 11:38:48 AM)

Raney22. I have suspected that you must have led a sheltered life due to questions you have asked. I'm not being critical, as there isn't anything wrong with that. Many of us are older than you and we sought out a different ways to relieve our boredom.
We didn't have computers, cell phones, Ipods, or even television during my wonder years.
