I have a few times for actual emergencies.
Winters in Idaho can be brutal, one year bus got stuck in the snow going to school, we had to bail out to help push.
Slide off the road during winter one year going to school, almost went down a large steep ravine, had to jump out the back door because the front of the bus was hanging over the edge.
I played basketball my freshman year in HS and we were coming home from a game in our old school tour bus when the front tire blew and the driver lost control. Bus rolled 3 1/2 times, talk about a wild ride. No one was injured except the varsity coach, when the tire blew it made a loud bang and he stood up to see if it was one of us players playing a joke and he got thrown into the stairwell as the bus rolled, he ended up with a few broken ribs. Rest of us all were pretty much asleep when we were woken up to the loud bang and then all of the sudden going off the road through a fence, off roading, and then upside down, right side up, upside down, right side up, upside down, right side up until it stopped while laying on its side. Bags and everything went flying, but for some crazy reason, no bodies went flying through the air, we all stayed in our seats until it came to a stop. It all felt like slow motion and I was able to hang onto my arm rests, everyone else(41 of us total, including driver) said the same thing, as if it were all slow motion. Once the bus stopped we all scrambled to get out through the side windows above us which was the right side of the bus, most of them were broken but not shattered so we were able to get a few of them pushed out to allow us to crawl out. This bus wasnt a school bus, it was an old 60's Greyhound bus the school had used many years for activities like games and such so we each had our own armrests with the luggage shelf up above. Some of the seats even had an upright pole that some could hang onto. It was a crazy ride and time. We were all taken to the hospital to be checked out and all of us were fine other than a few scrapes/cuts and bruises. I remember sitting there in the hospital looking at all of my teammates thinking we could all be dead, pretty scary really. Then parents started to show up, this was all before cell phones so nobody got notified about the wreck until we all were at the hospital. Some of the first responders and fire crew were parents of my teammates so they knew but again, nobody could call or text a parent. It was a sight to see parents coming to pick up us kids that probably should have been killed.
My mom was a bus driver for many years, drove for the school district for my younger years, when I was in middle school she got a job driving bus for the government. She has stories of witnessing crazy bus accidents with other cars, thankful she was never involved with any, just had to assist with evacuations off of them.
