Do a little jump when the bus hits the bump, time it right and go flying, though a bit unpredictable results but was fun as a kid to try it

My mom used to be a school bus driver. Years ago, the road dept dumped a load of gravel on one of the roads in her route. We came over

the hill at about 35mph. No time to react. Boom! Bus jumped and flattened the gravel pile. The kid in the back sailed two seats up and

landed on top of another kid, breaking that kid's nose. I was about halfway of the bus, and did a flip into the seat in front of me.

This happened in the morning. Apparently, the gravel was dumped end of shift the day before, and we discovered it at 6:15 the next morning.

It is weird that cars require a seat belt but school bus don't even have them at all? WTF up with that?

7 years ago | Likes 405 Dislikes 17

It's not just school busses, but mass transport as well, at least where I live. Supposedly it's actually safer without them. Whatever.

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

The metal bars in the seat in front of you protect your face from damaging the seat too much.

7 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Buses sit higher than most other vehicles so the kids wouldn’t be impacted by impact as much. From what I’ve heard.

7 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 2

The school districts lobbied against it. Would have cost money to retrofit all those buses and increased costs of new buses.

7 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

In Norway you are required by law to use the seat belts on the buss, and the driver is responsible that all minors wear em.

Can you source one of these “studies” that uses 3 point belts, not lap belts? Lap belts are bad, 3-point belts increase survival rates.

7 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

Natural selection. Sift them early on.

Buses arent going to get Tboned the way a car would. Generally they are the epitome of "biggest vehicle wins the crash" so less risk on them

7 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 1

They claim buses are just as safe without them but personally I think it's because they couldn't overcrowd them if they had seatbelts.

We had seat belts on our school bus in rural Australia. I was over an hour from school in the bush. Big comfy seats and seat belts.

Bus driver here! While in a regular crash, injuries are minimal without one, the biggest cause of fatalities is during a roll or flip. Kids

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

End up going out the window, pinned. The largest issue is enforcement - without an aid, we can't tell, and no kid will buckle if they can

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Get away with not buckling. Many charter coaches are being fitted with them, easier to see as they are bucket seats.

Busses like this in Finland are required by law to have 2-point seat belts. Not too many use them tho. Also, still gonna hit your head.

Bus seats are above most points of impact which helps decrease the need

I was told once it’s because of them rolling. If you’re upside down in a car and take off your seatbelt it’s fine, but dropping from the 1/

Top of the bus to the bottom rather than rolling with it isn’t so fine.Seems like it creates more problems than it solves if that’s the case

Its mainly an old rule, because imagine evacuating 40 little kids all panicking and stuck on a bus (that used to have a higher likely hood

Crash dummy tests show that no seat belt is safer in school buses in specific. The seats are padded so they absorb most of any human impact.

7 years ago | Likes 19 Dislikes 3

Those tests used lap belts. Tests with 3 point belts showed vastly higher survival rates.

7 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 1

In crashes, yes. But evacuations, no. Especially not amongst young children.

can’t evacuate if you’re dead

Fires are much, much more common on school buses than lethal crashes. School buses usually travel very slowly.

Stuck on train tracks, can’t evacuate all the kid..now they are all dead, smoke in bus=dead, way freaking more common things than rollovers

7 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Much harder to evacuate and the seat in front of you acts as a barrier of sorts. Super old design but seems to work mostly.

School buses are built like tanks.

7 years ago | Likes 19 Dislikes 0

no, they're definitely super flimsy. what makes them safe is slow speed and high visibility because of their large size.

7 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

Depending on what you mean that could be a really bad thing. Strong steel frames protect the vehicle, not the occupants. Needs to crunch.

7 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 1

The sheet metal is just covering plywood. It's the high ladder frame that takes most of the impact (located at the bottom black stripe).

Uh, maybe like a tank made of paper mache

Nope. Insanely strong frames. I’m a trucker and if my rig got into a head on collision with a school bus I’d be totaled.
