The 100% decapitation is a bit outrageous. That isn’t true. Even in rural areas, school buses do not stop in places where there is any risk of a highway speed collision. Which also lowers the risk of death anyone in a smaller car.
And there are reasons beyond them being built on medium duty truck chassis, that in the US school buses sit that high. Part of the idea is, that if the bus gets rear ended, whatever hits you get deflected down and under the bus. This makes an accident much less likely to injure passengers in the back.
You’ve just watched a video of it happening, and you tell me “that doesn’t happen”
I understand the idea, I’m saying it’s a dumbass idea. Might have worked in 1940s when the “school bus” was designed, but it has no place in today’s world.
The whole idea “if I’m in a tank, I’m safe, I don’t care about the cars under me” is the exactly ass-backwards thinking that leads to the ridiculous “trucks” being so popular in the US.
You seem incapable of wanting to think past your nose. And do not want to consider why something is designed the way it is. You just want to be outraged and hate on something and someone. This conversion is at an end.

“Nuh-uh” is not a very good counter-argument.
