Actually there is a way to avoid restart after minor crashes.
And if you are a little bit familiar with your pc it is even an easy way.

Open the TMD file with WORDPAD.
Search for sections like this:

cd FuselageRightSkid/
X = tmvector4r( 1.0000, 0.0000, 0.0000, 0 )
Y = tmvector4r( 0.0000, 1.0000, 0.0000, 0 )
Z = tmvector4r( 0.0000, 0.0000, 1.0000, 0 )
R = tmvector4r( 0.0200, 0.0000, 0.0000, 1 )
Mass = 0.1
...
Essential = 1

If you modify essential = 0 there is no reset after crashing this joint.
Of course you can do this for gears on aircrafts as well.

There is always a restart if the propeller or rotor crashes.

I have used this at the Fokker DR1, try to crash one gear and land with the other one.
