Perhaps he's suggestion that if we replaced double deckers with
articulated buses we'd have no such issues?


We probably wouldn't. But more sensible might be to require buses to
be constructed to be reasonably solid so that the top wouldn't be
sliced off quite like that. Of course, those sitting at the front
wouldn't have much fun quite simply because of the energies involved
in such a collision, but there's no reason why the entire top deck
should collapse like that in any properly-designed vehicle.
