School buses and seat belts, part 1

Before the end of today, I hope to post on a wire story on the number of injuries related to school bus accidents.

In case I don't get to that, here's a photo of my youngest in heaven. Actually, he has just toured the new Thomas Built Buses factory in High Point, N.C., where the new C2 models like the one in the background are assembled.

UPDATE: I hope to post something tomorrow. I'm scanning the 'Net for whatever I can find on this study. I've accessed the abstract but not the original article itself.

All I can say so far is that I have found nothing requiring me to change my opinion that seat belts are not necessarily a good idea in school buses. Too many problems, especially as they relate to how boys would act if they had belts to use as weapons.
