Scary pics of swbsam's car. I hadn't realized the chassis sill folded up in the driver's door area or that the cabin was so penetrated.

Call for opinions - would a typical aftermarket roll-cage have prevented or greatly reduced the damage to the cabin (and driver)?

By "typical aftermarket" I mean the ones you can buy from Safety Devices, Autopower, etc, that weld-in or bolt-in to the sills, with a vertical bar down to the sill aft of the door leading edges, joined to the main roll bar by a side impact bar. I don't mean a custom NASCAR style cage with bars as thick as your biceps. Or was that impact too much?
