I see it like how in some movies there is this trucker nicknamed "Tiny" and when he steps out of his truck he is actually this huge dude.
And then there are nicknames like the one I had in high school, which has resurfaced at work even though I didn't go to high school with anyone I work with.

Does your buses have the little skirts that push object out from under the bus ahead of the right rear wheel? I have seen them on transit buses in MD and DC and may be a safety feature to think about for disney buses. It looks like a small plow that forces objects out the side and hangs directly in front of the rear wheel on the Pass side.

"Mistake"?
"Mistake"??? The MWC does not make mistakes. We may, at times, delay our welcome so as to build anticipation and delight in the hearts of those reading the forums, but that is
not a mistake.
That's our story and we're sticking to it. :p:

yeah, I found that, too.
I saw the demo clip of the stunt man being pushed out of the way, but I don't know if it would have prevented it the boy's death or not.
It's certainly not a bad idea.

Ive thankfully never saw it push a person but have seen it push several things like backpacks out of the way. I'm surprised bus manufactures haven't incorporated the design into the bus itself.
