I was headed westbound, he was headed eastbound. He came at about a 45 degree angle from the road, the road wasn't turning. So he probably slumped over and his hand brought the wheel over with it.

Ow. There is indeed little to be done in this

Never, ever brace for any impact.

Wouldn't that somewhat depend on the situation? Like... If someone is gonna hit you from behind, if I saw it in time, I'd at least try to get my head back to the neckguard/head cushion for support...

Prevention is the biggest thing.

I'll sign that. I have a couple of precautions, including some of those you mentioned, and then also a self-teaching of patience: Every now and then, when I want to get off the highway, I don't overtake "just that one more car" but instead get on the right lane and slow down early. Just to teach myself that the few extra meters aren't worth speeding / doing last second lane changes.
And then I always expect the worst possible behaviour from other drivers / even pedestrians, and drive in a way that would reduce the impact if they really behave accordingly.
Thanks for sharing!
