Emily brought this story home on Monday.
The school bus* was cruising along and a high school boy noticed something wrong and went forward to chat with the driver. Maybe he missed his stop, maybe he was on the wrong bus.
Apparently his chat with the driver did not have the desired effect. He walked to the back doors, pulled the emergency cord, opened the back doors and, while holding the railings, leaned out of the bus.
The bus was at full speed--50 kph.
He picked a soft spot.
And jumped.
The kids on the bus saw him get up and start walking.
No word on whether he was fully OK, or if he's at home or hospital recovering.
Don't try this at home folks. Don't try it anywhere.
*The Fullers bus system puts SCHOOL BUS signs on their normal buses when they run a school route.
Funny, when I posted this blogger showed me an ad for Fuller's bus service on Waiheke. Never had an ad appear before and now there's one that goes with the post.
