There should be an option for flexibility which is set by percentage, lets say you have a cylinder standing up, if its felxibility was lets say 10% it would wobble a little when hit, at 50% it would jiggle, and at 100% it would flop to the ground.

It would also work with linked objects like lets say you have two blocks in the air, one on top of the other, and you have two flexible objects on each side of the top block, if you where to add physics to the bottom block, and the two flexible objects the flexible ones would strech down to a limit and keep the block from falling.

If you understood that :p and liked the idea please post here.

Sounds like a helluva lot of hacking on Havok 2, and a helluva lot of server side lag to make Jell-O and trampolines. I'd prefer they fixed existing things *cough* xml-rpc *cough* before taking on huge new endeavours.
