Hundreds/thousands of kids die in cars every year with seatbelts. Meanwhile, there's only 10 or less on average per year that die in school bus accidents. Yes, I agree that's 10 too many but the seatbelts wouldn't really do that much good. Especially with small chidren getting caught in them etc

Well kids likely spend 10x more time in a car than a bus, so those stats don't exactly mean anything.

Right. This is like when the Philly train wreck created the "seat belts on trains" discussion. They aren't needed because of the infrequency of accidents.
The real issue here is a school bus being on the interstate.
