    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.

          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.
