According to the comments it was the old man's fault for standing up on
the

bus, even though he wasn't.

but why wasn't grandad wearing a helmet?

I foresaw this type of accident occuring and it is for which I stopped
riding on buses when my health deteriorated. It's not so great to have a
free bus pass when one can't go more than a mile, can't walk around and
fears the risk of getting thrown from the seat. I have less fears on the
bike and no need to wear a helmet.

Indeed, I'm sure the statistics for death while on a bus/death while riding
a bike will surely justify your fears.
