Airbags

Yes I always wear a seatbelt. I was driving straight through an intersection
and a pizza driver turned in front of me. He didn't see me, the sun was
causing a glare. I was travelling around 50KM/H at the time of impact.

The entire bus seat on a school bus is designed to act as a restraint with
the very high back and padding. That said, every time there is an accident
involving a school bus, there are generally injuries to the passengers.
