Naw, this was the 60s and 70s, seat belts would have interfered with certain
romantic activities.

The main reason for a seat belt is to prevent you from being ejected.
Being ejected is what kills people. In my memory school bus seats were
not padded very well at all.
Chuck, when you went to school, wouldn't they have needed to figure out
how to attach the seatbelts to the horse, or somewhere on the buggy?
I am not suggesting a driver has to ensure the kids are buckled. They
can take that upon themselves or there could simply be a small array of
indicators showing who was clicked and who was not.

Simon on the Today I Found Out channel on YouTube goes into some of the
logic behind no seatbelts on school buses on an episode about why the
buses are yellow.
First, the seats are very well padded. Then it would take a lot of extra
time for the driver to ensure that the kids were buckled in properly
when he should be focusing more on driving safely. Lastly he says that
putting belts in the buses would be very expensive and likely wouldn't
improve injury and death rates in bus crashes.
Even most city buses don't have belts except for the driver.

There is a bill in the Utah legislature to add seat belts. I have
never understood why our most venerable transportation passengers
are not belted in.

… no students on bus, nobody injured … and the answer is seat
belts? Maybe DJT needs to send in the Feds, if Utah can’t fix its
horrible carnage. </sarcasm>____
