I think it would be a cool idea to have our avies reacts to falls in much the same way as the way we do when we trip or fall. To see arms and legs going all over the place I think would be hilarious. I think this will also make things more fun when we collide with vehicles or fall off cliffs etc.

Kinda like this...

This is a frequently requested feature, along with direct scripting of animations.

I sell pre-baked ragdoll animations :) (Fallguy stunt animations). However, I agree completely, ragdoll functionality would be damn cool, we could make our own "Falling down the stairs" game in sl :) Push your friends and neighbors down the hill :) Not to mention if we could trigger impacts via code. Adding an impulse to a specific named joint etc. Would be tons and tons of fun.

I seem to remember there's a nice ragdoll engine in Havok 4 that does cool things like blending animations and dynamic stuff. *snicker* :p
