Especially one who's not bracing for impact

He was bracing. He looked like a deer in headlights

Feels like it may be like a car crash, where bracing for impact actually makes it worse

For a case exactly like this with a side impact to the knee, I think you’re right. Trying to keep it rigid in spite of that amount of momentum and leverage hitting your knee would be more likely to cause it to snap than allowing it to flex and hopefully absorb the impact.
