That's where my school's drumline sits whenever we go anywhere, we always crowd to the back.

I'm so fucked if we crash

I'm an aviation adminstration major, with a specialty in Aviation security, which means I spend a lot of time reading shit about the NTSB and DOT, and I spent a couple of weeks there last summer.

WTS! Lucky

I've always wanted to take up aviation as a hobby. But i've heard flight school is expensive

Kids wont wear the seatbelts anyway :\

well, i think restraints will work better than seat belts, like the belt in school busees, it comes across your waist only, that can kill you, but if there were two other straps that came down the shoulders, and were ajustable, that would work alot better

School buses should have shoulder harrness like roller coasters

It's not the kids fault, they haven't done anything wrong. No annoying songs, spitballs, etc. were seen.

Not the driver's fault. He was avoiding traffic.

Whose fault? The genius who decided that school buses didn't need seat belts.

Someone could have been hurt.

I think those kids have gained significantly in toughness points, almost as much as that guy who cut off his arm with a pen knife to free himself from a boulder. Now THAT guy is the MAN!
