    I thought the reason that there wasn't seat belts on busses is that kids used them as weapons.

    school buses are so heavy and so tough, unless they roll or get t boned by another bus semi or train the occupants usually just get jolted around a bit.
    seat belts- the little devils WILL cut them up and use them as weapons when they aren't having sex, smoking dope or trying to light a fire in the back of the bus, at least that was my limited experience the year I drove a school bus in AK.

    We didn't have seat belts in school buses when I was riding them, so there weren't any to cut up and use for weapons, but thanks for letting me in on what I was missing out on because I'm an old fart. Still, three out of four ain't so bad.....
