I don't think it's possible for both grips to be stationary relative to the part inside the bellows. The bellows connects two 'cars', but the floor is fixed relative to one car, thus the other side of the bellows MUST move relative to the floor, and the floor must pivot somewhere, in this case around one edge of the bellows section.
That being said, I don't mind this at all, I've stood there a few times, it's kind of fun, although I'm sure some will prefer not too.
It could be fixed to either side, they would just have to make it not fixed to the floor at that point (which does move), and instead use some sort of lateral support to fix it to the adjacent section. The reason they didn't do this, I suspect, is that it would then hit the passenger sitting next to it through turns.
