How to make a proper function that fires when you take a certain threshold of damage?

I’m using the HealthChanged event to trigger a function that puts the player into Ragdoll mode when they take 10 or more damage. However, whenever it fires, it keeps firing over and over again until the player heals to above 90 health. Is there a better event to trigger this function so that it only fires once?

Here’s the script:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		local humanoid = char.Humanoid
		local currentHealth = humanoid.Health
		humanoid.HealthChanged:Connect(function(health)
			local change = math.abs(currentHealth - health)
			if change > 10 then
				char:WaitForChild("IsRagdoll").Value = true
				wait(3)
				char:WaitForChild("IsRagdoll").Value = false
			end
		end)
	end)
end)

Think the issue is because you’re not setting currentHealth at the end of the HealthChanged event

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		local humanoid = char.Humanoid
		local currentHealth = humanoid.Health
		humanoid.HealthChanged:Connect(function(health)
			local change = math.abs(currentHealth - health)
			if change > 10 then
				char:WaitForChild("IsRagdoll").Value = true
				wait(3)
				char:WaitForChild("IsRagdoll").Value = false
			end
			currentHealth = health
		end)
	end)
end)
