How do I detect if a player is on a slope that is on a specific angle?

Hi I’m currently trying to make a player ragdolls if it climbs a steep terrain but I do not know how to detect the current slope of the player.

The only way I know is just to adjust the max slope in starter player but I do not know how to make it connect a function.

this can be done probably if im right (and im always right because im never wrong ever) using raycasts and some vector magic(that i could explain if you want me to but)

local params = RaycastParams.new()
params.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
params.FilterDescendantsInstances = {character}
--prob put this in a loop yk
if not ragdolled and onground then
	local results = workspace:Raycast(humanoidRootPart.Position,-Vector3.yAxis*5--[[ray length below the player]],params)
	if results then
		local angle = math.deg(math.acos(Vector3.yAxis:Dot(results.Normal)))--in degrees
	end
end

the only things that i think could be improved is the distance to cast below the player(but it doesnt matter if you check if they are on the ground anyways)

Thanks but I think I’m gonna go another way.
