Actually, that was a good analogy. No, I have ik disabled on the feet and arms of nboth characters. If the child has IK on (feet and arms) then nothing is changed from the bam bam effect. The parent shakes hand the the child is listed up in a statue like movement If the parent has IK on, then the hands are frozen at the position and they cannot shake hands and the shoulders and everything else twists up into a giant knot.
