[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it supposedly safer not to have seatbelts on busses? I always assumed it was a union issue and the schools didn't want to go through the hassle of providing them so most schools don't have them. I'd love to know why it's supposedly safe . . . there is usually a bar in the seat directly in front of the passenger. Flying kids is dangerous.[/quote] There are several reasons. They don't help as much as they would in a car. They only help in limited situations. Buses are higher and safer and built to create compartmentalize kids. Like car seats compartmentalise infants. Not exactly the same but same idea. Drivers cannot ensure kids buckle and stay buckled. Drivers also cannot ensure the kids arent using the heavy metal buckles as weapons. Smaller buses under 10,000 pounds are required to have them.[/quote]
