  Not really . I've yet to experience that . But if you are standing at the articulated section and the bus is turning at high speed , you can be flung around . I was taking a 184 bendy that time and just as i was at the articulated section , the bendy suddenly turned , nearly throwing me off my feet.

  I was taking my 812 home that time... sit at the back seat I almost tipped over when my bus (1058K) turned out at a sharp angle...
  
  And yes... the articulated section is also dangerous for standing. I've seen people falling when the bendy makes a turn, especially a sharp one.

  Re-deployed to 64.
  
  From what I know...
  
  SBS 8064 P & SBS 8065 L were already HG 64 from start but cameoed on 100 then did 64.

  Of course you made a mistake..
  
  Torque convertors aka auto tranny is less likely to roll off a slope, it may even creep forwards very slowly..but of course if the slope is too steep, it will either not creep forwards and stay stationary, or if slope really too steep, even an auto gearbox equipped vehicle may roll backwards..

  Was on TIB1181L a few months ago when the damn SC go gun it at the hump. Whoever stood at the arcticulator went flying up in the sky for 2 seconds

  Suspension can spoil one... I experience it before too... then there was 3 seconds of girls' screaming engulfing the whole bus.

  Yishun ST 61 got 2 zebra crossing humps... and sometimes BC just drive over it without slowing down and somemore increasing speed... so that's why if do it long enough bus suspension will spoil.

  That time took a LO3x on 143 . I was sitting at the front on the upper deck . Then dunno for what reason the BC gunned down when at the Teban Gardens hump . My entire family of 4 people (including me) flew up from our seats for 1 sec.

  yes, nice spot but can get a bit dull sometimes.
  
  also, the place is only good for evening sunlight from the west, but it's been raining in the afternoons nowadays!

  North West monsoon mah... the wind carry moisture from oceans and drops them in SEA.
  
  Er... this month wind should be coming from Europe.
