To: My Favorite Headache

Just registered here, this is to simply post comments:

No krylon, no seatbelts, not that it would’ve mattered much to the first car. So sad. I’m dying to know how this happened. I always think it’s nuts not to have seatbelts in these trains AND children’s school buses. Penny wise and pound foolish.

My prayers to everyone involved.

There are a lot of very good reasons why trains, buses, to include school buses do not have seat belts. Number one on my list is the high risk of spinal cord injuries, that result from just a belt. Expense, risk of law suits, making a driver responsible for someone else wearing a belt and wearing it properly, and there is more.
