Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Because an adult should know how to unbuckle themselves in a rollover accident.

And the driver is at a different impact point

In a rollover accident, you also risk kids getting tossed around like clothes in a dryer and ejected from the vehicle if the windows are open or break. I can't say I think that is a better option. It is a risk vs reward scenario here. In a fire you can get out easier, in a rollover, you turn the bus into a drink mixer if it is going fast enough into the roll.

Buses are built so they are very unlikely to roll. If they do, everyone was probably screwed anyway.

I’m willing to trust the people who designed them and the fact that they’ve continued with the same design over the thinking of a random person on the internet

Like all things, it's complicated and you're both right. For a long time the best practice was to not have them.

The numbers now say it's better to have them, and more places are recommending that they do.

Yep! As we gather more data we draw new conclusions and solutions!
