They don't build buses like they used to

Is it me or in the good old days was being hit by a bus not considered fairly fatal? What if you were hit in the head? I almost feel cheated that I was able to get up and carry on* with little more than a injured leg and some wounded pride. When I was built+ (all of 18 years ago) people were built to take the knocks, anyone else think people and the world in general are becoming more shoddy - or indeed anyonw who remebers the time that people wouldn't have injured their leg on something so trivial as a bus?
* - certainly I feel cheated that I could still get to my lecture
+ - i'm studying AI and having spend hours debating why we can't build people would like to point out that this is a figure of speech
