The school buses are designed to be "compartmentalized," keeping the passengers in a small padded space. Research shows small kids wearing only the lap belt are hurt more by the force of the accident on their abdominal area than those with no belts. Most accidents involving school buses are at lower speeds and smaller vehicles, so the kids aren't really in too much danger because the smaller vehicles hit the bus literally under the passenger seating level, so the frame of the bus absorbs the impact. Next time you get behind a bus, notice how much higher it is above your bumper and hood. As for getting kids to stay in their seats, that can be tough. I have over 50 K-6 students on a 71 passenger bus when I leave the school. They have a lot of stored up energy after being in school all day. Most are good at sitting still for a short time, but several are on the bus for 45 minutes or more. Try to get the average 8-10 year old to stay seated that long anywhere, even in church. Good Luck!!

I think Wisconsin should have certain times of a day when a cellphone cannot be used when driving?

yes, but it's not realistic. the best way to keep kids safe is for the driver to make them sit in their seats, two to a seat if necessary, facing the back of the seat in front of them. unfortunately, bus drivers are busy driving, and being safe drivers for our children, so it's not always easy to make sure they're sitting properly. if kids had seatbelts on busses, they'd be hitting each other with them, strangling each other(even if it was just for fun, kid's parents would still be angry when their kid came home with a ringed neck) and other things. Busses today have seats that have very high backs to them. This is supposed to keep the kids from flying forward in a crash, and it works.

Idea that can prevent millions of accidents, but no money to file for patent......can you help with advice?

from a bus driver,who would you get to make sure everyone is using them and how many times would you have to stopper trip to put someone back in them.One of the main arguements against seat belts is that if there was ever a fire you would never get everyone out.stats say that per person per mile there are fewer accident injuries in buses than other vehicles

If your on a bike, do you have to make a stop at a stop sign??

I never wonder this. Few if any buses have seat belts. The idea is that it would be extremely difficult to get all the passengers unbelted in case the bus was on fire, partially or completely upside down, or under water. There are very few fatal bus wrecks, especially compared with other motor vehicle wrecks, and the reality is that bus drivers are generally much better trained, and held to much higher standards than your average licensed idiot. That doesn't mean they are never involved in wrecks, but it does mean that they are most likely better trained to avoid wrecks in the first place.
