This means that if the ball and the runner get there at the same time, the runner MUST be safe since s/he was not retired PRIOR to reaching 1B.
As I stated before, though, many call it a different way.
Beat the ball, the call goes to the runner;
Ball beats the runner, the call goes to the defense;
Both get there at the same time, the call goes to the umpire!

Dont forget the adendums for clean/sloppy play and double play
