Seatbelts and safety
The University of Alabama in 2010 completed a three-year project for the Governor’s Study Group on School Bus Seat Belts and the Alabama State Department of Education. Some of the findings:• Students are six to eight times safer riding to school in a school bus than riding to school in their parents’ cars.• Nationally, up to three times more school bus-related pupil deaths take place outside the bus (loading/unloading) than inside the bus.• The addition of seat belts would make already-safe school buses even safer.• Based on 170,000 observations of pupils in pilot-project buses, the average seat belt- use rate was 61.5%.• Adding seat belts increases the thickness of seat-backs, leading to fewer rows of seats.Source: University of Alabama
My heart goes out to the families of the children that were killed & injured in the school bus crash in Chattanooga this evening. TT
