School buses don't have seat belts because they don't need them!

You've been on a school bus before, right? Did you ever feel like you were unsafe or a little unusual because nobody had a seatbelt except for the bus driver?

You, and many other people out there, might have been under the impression that school buses are giant metal death traps. They're not.

In reality school buses are one of the safest ways to travel - almost 40 percent more safe than driving in a regular vehicle.

Part of the safety of a school bus comes from the fact that buses are so much higher off the ground than other vehicles. This is great for the passengers of a school bus and nobody else.

The main reason buses are so safe, and don't need seatbelts is because the bus doesn't actually need seatbelts. Instead, compartmentalization provides enough safety for the business leaders of tomorrow.

Basically, the seats on a bus are placed so close together, and are so padded, that if a bus were to get into an accident - a person occupying a bus seat would hit the seat in front of them which acts exactly like an air bag!
