Do you think a side airbag would have helped you significantly?

Yes I do, very much so!

That was a text book case for a top side air bag.

My knee would still have got smucked up likely, (I am tall, no place for
my leg to move to so it was against the door and dash) but the side
snap of my head wouldn't have happened maybe. I have ended up with the
neck vertebra from C-3 to C-7 compressed which is raising hell on my
left side seizing 'all' the muscles including the ones I breathe with if
I move wrong.

I wouldn't have hit the door frame either. That gave me a stroke and
likely messed up the eye.

I was in a Saturn Car.

Take care.
