How many of the victims were wearing safety belts and would the others have come out better if they had been?
Safety belts do save lives.
In generall people dont ware seat belts on busses as well as back seat passengers in cars.
@por I don’t think Egged buses have seatbelts. And even if they do, I don’t think I have ever seen a single person wearing one. (I’ve been on MANY Israeli buses.)
