In the case of an unwanted Critical Hit/opponent Critical Miss, I'd allow the opponent to roll vs. Weapon skill or make a Dodge roll to negate the effect. Essentially, it's a form of "pulling your punches."

If the GM is feeling indulgent, perhaps allow a suitable weapon or unarmed combat skill roll to convert the critical into a less damaging, more desirable effect like a disarm.
