No, you would have just been shaken up good.
I got hit square in the driver's door by a Chevy 3500 series van
doing 60, had to have weighed at least 7000 lbs. Headlight right
at the seat back, full impact to up to the front of the car.
I walked away -- slightly crooked, but walking.
Shoved the A pillar in at least 18 inches at the bottom, caved the
door in so far it broke the turn signal lever off, bent the whole
car so much the passenger front door stands half an inch proud of
the frame, but three doors still open and close.
Not that I recommend getting T-boned for entertainment....

My daughter was hit broadside in her rusty 107. I am not sure of the
speed, but the little s%it came over the crest of a small hill going
so fast he could not stop for several cars lined up behind her as she
waited to make a left turn on a 4 lane. Rather than braking or
moving to the right lane, he decided to move to the furthest lane of
oncoming traffic. From there, he hit the 107, door back. I am
convinced he was not within the speed limit.
The little s%it was uninsured and was judgement proof, so we could
not even recover the value of the car. Apparently the cops knew him
and could not be bothered to even give him a ticket.
But, my daughter walked away. The MB did its job. One of the
reasons I am reluctant to buy any other brand.
Her friend in a brand new toada, was burned so badly that it took
months for the powers that be to even do a dna test to determine who
was burned beyond recognition.
Friends don't let friends drive toadas.
