I wish the young lad a speedy and full recovery so that he can complete his training on the proper use of seatbelts.
I will go out on a limb and say that he wasn't wearing it, because you don't fall out of moving vehicles if you are properly wearing one.
Unless an anchor bolt came loose or the fastener malfunctioned, I'd say that the belt wasn't being worn.
