Ragdoll body parts anchoring

Hello!
I wanted to anchor player’s body part when the player touches the ground, but when i did, the whole character got frozen. I checked, and only 1 body part was anchored (like it’s supposed to).
I think it could possibly be because of joints, but i tried using BreakJoints() and it didn’t help. Welding has the same issue. How could I resolve this and stop player from freezing entirely?
The player is R16 and ragdolled when trying to anchor.

-- Anchoring code
for _, v in pairs(character:GetChildren()) do
    if v:IsA("BasePart") then
		v.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
			if hit.Parent == workspace.MapObjects then
				if not Debounce and v.Name ~= "HumanoidRootPart" then
					v.Anchored = true
					print(v)
				end
			end
		end)
	end
end

local function anchorPart(part)
    -- Disconnect the part from the character
    for _, joint in pairs(part:GetJoints()) do
        joint:Destroy()
    end
    part.Anchored = true

    --task.wait(timeToReconnect)
    --reconnectPart(part)
    ]]
end

for _, v in pairs(character:GetChildren()) do
    if v:IsA("BasePart") then
        v.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
            if hit.Parent == workspace.MapObjects then
                if not Debounce and v.Name ~= "HumanoidRootPart" then
                    anchorPart(v)
                    print(v)
                end
            end
        end)
    end
end

It works, but the ragdoll falls apart. How could I do it so ragdoll stays connected but only parts that touch the ground are anchored and the character doesn’t get frozen? Added footage to make myself clearer. (1 - result using your code, 2 - using the original code)
