I always found it facinating that you are required to wear a seat belt on an airplane, but not on a bus.

Although I understand 'turbulence' on a plane is a problem,how about 'turbulence'(road hazard) on a bus?

I have actually been on a flight from Cleveland to Dallas that dropped about 500 feet due summer heating and thin air pockets. Talk about a wild ride. I always keep my seatbelt on so I was okay and luckliy was not working on my laptop. Talk about choas. There were drinks all over the place laptops, papers, kids, adults. No one seriously hurt but there were plenty of bumps and bruises.

The difference is this ~ when you ride in an automobile you are much nearer the ground than you would be in a bus. Most of the force of collisions occurs down towards the ground. Bus passengers are above the fray.
