Ragdoll physics

In computer game engines, rag-doll physics is a mode where the motions of dead characters are simulated by a low-level physics simulation, rather than the use of pre-programmed motions. In practice this means that the corpses will, for example, fall down the stairs instead of just collapsing partly onto one stair and partly onto thin air.
