Ruby used her abilities and konked out. Even allowing that it isn't normal for it to have that effect on a user, that does not mean Summer could not be killed. If Ruby's abilities affected Cinder it is probably because she has some Grimm infusion given how she took some of Amber's power initially. So against a regular person we can assume her only advantage would be her Maiden abilities and we saw with Amber that this is no guarantee. Even if you look at Pyrrha fighting Cinder you can see that the Maiden powers don't make it an easy win when up against a skilled fighter.

We only know that silver eyes struck fear in Grimm, not that their powers only affected Grimm. We know too little about what silver eyes can do to judge whether or not they can effect humans or faunus. I mean, for all we know, those powers could probably effect those with massive amounts of malice, which the Grimm are pretty much embodiments of.
