ragdoll
Stuffed cloth toy
A ragdoll is a limp, floppy doll made of cloth and stuffing, the kind a child might drag around by an arm.
The term extends to anything that flops limply like such a toy: His body went ragdoll when he fainted.
In video games and animation, ragdoll physics simulate how a character's body collapses and tumbles when incapacitated—limbs swinging freely rather than following scripted movements. (Capitalized Ragdoll is the cat breed.)
