While these dummies can be thrown out of the vehicle, the Rigs of Rods player character stays firmly seated during even the most severe crashes. Rigs of Rods actually has a human player character that can walk around whereas BeamNG has only got crash test dummies.Many Rigs of Rods cars are a lot softer than BeamNG cars. Ragdoll Physics: Not the people, the cars have this.Sometimes, careless off-roading is enough. Not that that's the only way tires can be destroyed in this game. Pop the Tires: There are also spike strips available for Rigs of Rods which can actually destroy vehicles' tires (if they have tires, that is).As in: The ones where you tossed your vehicle off of a cliff-face and watched it tumble downwards, being reduced to a pile of scrap that resembled the car in question.

Originally, the game was an off-road truck simulator (hence why cars and other non-trucks are still referred as a "truck" vehicle in the game files, not to mention the abundance of off-road vehicles) until it hosted regular cars, buses, even cranes, soon followed by aircraft, rail vehicles and boats. The game makes use of "advanced soft body physics" which means a use of so called beams and nodes to make up a vehicle which can bend, deform and break from collisions. Rigs of Rods is a free, open-source and cross-platform vehicle simulation with no actual objectives except for the races that some maps allow for.
