//  class that you can use later to remove all these subscriptions at once
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// create an instance of the EventConnections class
EventConnections broken_event_connections;

// link to this instance when subscribing to an event (subscription to various events can be linked)
publisher->getEventBroken().connect(broken_event_connections, broken_event_handler);

// (e.g. you can subscribe using lambdas)
publisher->getEventBroken().connect(broken_event_connections, [](const Ptr<Joint> & joint) {

joint->setAngularRestitution(0.8f);

// save state
BlobPtr blob_state = Blob::create();
