Most likely, they'd drop off as the entire body is pushed backwards by the force of the impact. I recall one incident where a car went under a semitrailer. The driver's lower jaw was found in the back seat of the car and the rest of her head came to rest about 40 feet from the roadway. Her hands were not still on the wheel as her body came to rest laying sideways across the front seat.

I would think that they would drop. Since having your head severed would most likely be the result of a violent accident, you body parts would be moving all over the place.
