I stay in gear and plan my escape route if I see something closing too 
fast from the rear. That doesn't protect from chain reactions though. Our 
car was hit when I was a kid with minimal damage to the rear bumper. iirc 
we had to walk back 5 cars to find the source of the accident, a young guy 
in a completely destroyed car. The car he hit directly wasn't doing well 
either. That was when cars had real bumpers and frames so the actual 
damage dropped off rapidly.
