    Usually seat belts are made to be ejected by a simple button and spring mechanism. We perfected the technology decades ago.

        What would they do in a real car owned by mom and dad? Presumably in a child booster seat? Do children usually have issues with seatbelts? Also, in a head on collision, that 1st grader is going to be travelling at 40-60mph head first into seat in front of them.

          If you don’t know if children have issues with seatbelts or not, maybe you shouldn’t even be in the condo, homie

          The driver won’t have time to unfasten 40 seat belts if there’s a fire. Most collisions involving a bus will be against a much smaller vehicle, so the bus won’t slow down as harshly as a smaller car would.
