An elementary student was killed and 23 other students were injured – including one with life-threatening injuries – after their school bus was hit by a minivan and overturned on the first day of school.
The accident occurred on state Route 41 in German Township, Ohio, on Tuesday morning, the Ohio State Highway Patrol said in a news release.
Aside from the greater mass making ejection more difficult. If there’s a fire, evacuating 30 or so kids is going to be much harder when you have to get them out of their seatbelts.
That happened in Ohio. I’ve seen the interviews with witnesses talking about listening to kids screaming while they burned alive in the middle of the interstate.
You forgot about the fact that buses have bigger windows and the passengers inside them, kids in this case, have smaller mass. Therefore I would argue that the chances of ejection are not less than a typical car.
Plus, pretty sure those old big muscle cars and luxury cars had more mass than a typical family hatchback and guess why we still got seatbelts?
