I think the point @Ocomfv is trying to make is that Yang didn't stand there for a Nevermore feather to fall on her and stab her. Then again, she was running to try to get to Ruby, not looking for a fight with the Nevermore.

The point he makes is still interesting. A hit from a blunt weapon could have most of its energy dissipated-absorbed using aura, causing little damage, but a stab or the edged that managed to inflict a cut, while technically Yang would still absorb the energy of the hit and increase her semblance, she now is also bleeding, which is continuously debilitating.
