minus-squarericecake@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months agoOther countries have seatbelts on school buses, so it’s not exactly some cut and dry question. It’s not even the case in all US states. The NTSB recommends that we start enforcing seat belts on school buses. https://www.ntsb.gov/Advocacy/safety-topics/Pages/schoolbuses.aspx They agree with what you said, but disagree that the risk of being trapped outweighs the risk of being fired face first into a seat back.
minus-squareShaunaTheDead@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months agoInteresting. I live in southern Ontario and we definitely don’t have seat belts on buses here.
minus-squarePerfide@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months agoWe mostly don’t here in the US, either. It’s not federally required for them to have seat belts, but that may change in the future based off things like the NTSB’s recommendation.
