If you can't answer this then your just a busy body. We had to get rid of our coffee maker at work because you could program it and it was a danger because someone might program it to come on during the weekend, again busy bodies.
The flip side of that, and I think the point trying to be made by earlier comments, is how many kids would have been killed or seriously injured if they had been wearing a seatbelt. There are many 4 and 5 year olds (or even older), especially in a terrifying situation, that would not be able to operate their seatbelts properly. Given the thought of those children trapped hanging upside down or, heaven forbid, in a burning bus, I will choose to go with the low chance of being injured without wearing one. A mass casualty because panic-filled kids are all trapped in their seat belts while the bus is burning is just not a picture that I could ever live with.
