In a rollover accident, you also risk kids getting tossed around like clothes in a dryer and ejected from the vehicle if the windows are open or break. I can't say I think that is a better option. It is a risk vs reward scenario here. In a fire you can get out easier, in a rollover, you turn the bus into a drink mixer if it is going fast enough into the roll.

Buses are built so they are very unlikely to roll. If they do, everyone was probably screwed anyway.

I’m willing to trust the people who designed them and the fact that they’ve continued with the same design over the thinking of a random person on the internet

Like all things, it's complicated and you're both right. For a long time the best practice was to not have them.

The numbers now say it's better to have them, and more places are recommending that they do.

Yep! As we gather more data we draw new conclusions and solutions!
