What additional factors does a bucket seat have to keep you in place during a side impact that a bench seat doesn't? I don't imagine the extra shoulder rest material really doing that much work.

    actually that little extra material makes a big difference.

    Look at it from the side (IE put a camera where your spine would be), same on the bottom where your leg would be. There's several good square inches of 'wall', much more than just a seat belt.

    And while it is angled up somewhat, the seat belt is doing a great job pulling you back down into it.
