You can still fall unconscious due to Major Wounds as normal. And the rolls you don't have to make, you also wouldn't have to make if you took the same maneuvers by choice rather than surprise, and you'd even be allowed better active defense rolls while you're at it. Wouldn't it seem a bit of a Murphy if you passed out as a result of being too surprised to move, when if you weren't surprised you could have done a bit with no such risk?
