It definitely is designed around this concept. The 3-point belts do this automatically by design (allow you to fall to the inside). Re: the B-pillar, I'll say what I said 30 seconds ago in the other post: it helps, but it can be pushed over or flattened depending on the accident. And if the B-pillar falls, and you're locked into a harness, your neck is the next thing in line for the car's force.
