Merge #11238: Add assertions before potential null deferences

c001992 Fix potential null dereferences (MeshCollider)

Pull request description:

  Picked up by the static analyzer [Facebook Infer](http://fbinfer.com/) which I was playing around with for another research project. Just adding some asserts before dereferencing potentially null pointers.
