I, still to this day, do not understand why it isn't mandatory to have seatbelts on school buses.

I was in two school bus wrecks, and received minor injuries both times from being thrown from my seat.

This seems like the most common sense law that needs to pass.

Problem would be getting the kids to use the belts, then to make them safe you'd probably need at least a 3 point harness.
The next problem comes with special education kids, who can't belt/unbelt themselves.

Two simple problems,
1. getting all of the kids to buckle up.
2. Getting them to unbuckle themselves after a traumatic accident, where the bus might be on fire or something of the like.

In a non-rollover situation, the high-backed seats do a fairly decent job at keeping damage minimal. Once that fvcker lands on it's side, though, it's another game entirely. Many new buses are being manufactured with much lower centers of gravity as a safety device. The floors are still at the same height (have to be, the truck drivetrain requires a ton of height for clearance) but weight is added beneath that level. This also typically involves the addition of a lower side-skirt, which also produces the added benefit of keeping Hondas from running up underneath the damn things. These models ain't cheap, compared to the oldschool traditional ones.

I am the only one on my bus who wears a seatbelt. There is actually peer pressure for me to take it off, but I never do. I feel that I have more sense than the others because of it.
