Passengers can ride without a seatbelt in the bed of a pickup or flatbed truck but only if they are 18 years or older. Minors are allowed to be in the bed of a truck only if properly restrained in an approved and secured restraint or if supervised by an adult in emergency situations. And children under six years old are still subject to Florida's child restraint laws. Permitting a passenger to unlawfully ride in the bed of a pickup truck carries a $30 fine for the driver. Allowing a passenger to ride on the hood, on the fender, or in the trunk carries a $60 fine. Exemptions to the normal rules exist for parades and entertainers. https://www.drivinglaws.org/resources/florida-law-on-passengers-and-pets-in-pickup-trucks.html Florida’s seatbelt laws require front-seat passengers and passengers under 18 years old to be restrained by a seatbelt or child safety seat.

And the truck going fast enough to end up like that?? Seems perfectly responsible and reasonable to me. Children ending up paralyzed? Just good ol' country people having fun. The adults have probably learned their lesson and will never do anything stupid again. A three and a four year old riding back there?? And the truck going fast enough to end up like that??

It’s a different time now, more civilized more populated that add more dangers! The driver is beyond irresponsible so does the passenger adult, they should acted like adults from the beginning, buckle all the kids up in their car seats/booster seats. I think both adults need to get press charged by the number of children that was involved in this incident, no mercy! Hope the law enforcement also run alcohol and drug test on the driver too.
