Some interesting safety considerations for our conversions. It looks to me that if that had been a seated bus, there would have been very few injuries.
Thinking about the construction of our conversions and what happened in that bus, a brand new Prevost operated by Night Train, one of the largest in the country.
The refrigerator came loose, drawers and cabinets opened and spilled broken glass all over, interior doors jammed, trapping someone in the rear bedroom.
It's something to consider when building our conversions, that the refer and other heavy items stay put, that cabinets and drawers are secure, and everything loose is tied down..
We could learn from the sailors among us to "rig for heavy seas" when underway.
When building, we need to be aware of UFOs (Unattached Flying Objects) Jack
