This commentary ties in nicely with the analogies I've made to both energy shielding and Ki. Aura is like a shield in that it blocks a lot of the harm that would come to the user whilst retaining at least some of its initial kinetic impact, whilst also like Ki in that it's still a bolster to the body's overall integrity, meaning an opposing force of a high enough power level can overwhelm the Aura and produce results closer to how the body would actually react to such stressors.
