Yeah, I see that they are good simulations, but I don't think someone would be dead in the position shown in the second picture in the real world. I don't want to blame Valve or Havok or anything; I just wanted to point out that there is always something to perfectionize.Well ok, except in Ricochet maybe.

They both look like perfect ragdoll simulations to me.
Notice that no joints are hyperextended (bent backwards). Bodies come to rest in realistic positions based on the mass of the components of the system.
Not perfect would be joints that bend the wrong way, or joints that aren't bent when gravity should have made extremties fall to a lower surface (i.e. the "legs sticking horizontally out in the air" syndrome when somebody dies on a set of stairs in Half-Life).
