"50+ " has now narrowed ....big time.

Two Walt Disney World buses crashed this afternoon in front of the Contemporary Resort on Disney property, injuring 12 people, the Florida Highway Patrol said.

The rear-end crash happened about 2:40 p.m. when one southbound bus stopped to merge as the World Drive narrowed from three to two lanes, said Sgt. Kim Miller, an FHP spokeswoman. The second bus, which was traveling slowly, did not stop in time.

I would be interested in knowing if the injured people were sitting or standing. I've often wondered what would happen to all the standing people if there was an accident. I never did think standing up was a good idea, even if it does save time.

Without seatbelts I'm not sure it matters. At least when you're standing you are usually hanging onto something.

Since it was an early afternoon accident, and there were 50 people divided between the two buses, I would assume most, probably all, were seated. As this isn't a DVC related story, sad as it is, I'm moving this thread to the Community Board.
