🚘 Road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death for children and young adults aged 5–29 years [World Report on Road Traffic Injury Prevention. Geneva: World Health Organization; 2018] 📊 For short trips and low-traffic areas, 33% of Italian parents don't always fasten their children. This is especially true for children between the ages of 4 and 7 (45%), for the ones that misbehave (28%), for travel velocities considered slow (25%), or for having another passenger hold their child (14%) [Altroconsumo] 📉 The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that car seats reduce the risk of fatal injury by 71% for children, when compared to seat belt use alone. ⤵️ This IIHS crash test demonstrates what happens to unrestrained children in a frontal crash

https://lnkd.in/gXp8KhE #CarrolltonKYbusfire #27reasonsforegresssystem #NTSBinvestigatesevacuation #busfiresreal #takestragedytogetaction #proactiveapproach #ohiofirst The NTSB is on record in it's investigation that all 67 occupants tried to exit through a singular rear emergency door and had to jump three feet to escape the bus toxic smoke and fire. The post collision found a pile up of crush students formed in and adjacent to the twelve (12) inch isle leading to the rear emergency door. NSTB further concluded the students were wedged in so tightly that they had to be pulled by force from the human jam. This is a perfect case study on why NSTB and other safety associations need to make school bus emergency egress system standard safety equipment for our precious cargo and drivers.
