Innate DR doesn't stop Blunt Trauma Injury. What it does do, however, is stop damage in a rigid manner, which can indirectly reduce/stop Blunt Trauma. RPK was hardly ambiguous about this - you apply the DR that functions as rigid first, then apply the DR that functions as flexible. The only issues that pop up are those when you have non-standard Innate DR (like Rigid Ablative Force Fields and the like).
