(and yes, I know, I should have remained seated until the vehicle had stopped!)
I'm not a fan of lack of handrails, like having them there to grab onto should I need to in instances like you've described but at least it's better than Transdev who have done away with them as well on some of their fleet and put the stopping bells under the windows which is even worse as it's very easy to accidentally set off and awkward if you have to sit on outside seat next to someone.
