And that's precisely what the breakable joints are for ;-) So that problem is 
solved.
But if the problem can be solved in an easier (read, less computationably 
expensive) way then that would be interesting. The breakable joints check 
every step if the stress is to high and if it is to high they break. Usualy 
this only happens in a collision but it could also happen when two objects 
connected with a joint are spinning fast. Then the centrifugal (correct 
word?) force would pull them apart.
