Makes you wonder why the driver gets a seatbelt when the kids do not.

Because an adult should know how to unbuckle themselves in a rollover accident.

And the driver is at a different impact point

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.
