Umm most of what you say makes great sense, eg the angles, but slumping to one side in an accident? as they happen in the blink of an eye, and the forces involved in some of the crashes, I doubt that a person would have either the time, or strength, to adjust their position. The new top of the range cars have seat belt tensioners which holds the passenger in the seat, as a firm fitting harness should. (for my 2 cents)
