Odds are even with full Aura, certain things can kill a person as according to the WoR, Aura only passively protects a person normally. When Yang was fighting the Ursa, it managed to cut some of her hair despite her never being hit. Also a strong enough hit to the head has been shown to knock a person out, so there is always a chance of brain damage which can lead to death. Lastly Ruby's scythe has been shown to be freakishly sharp, so I'm pretty sure if she took a swing at someone's neck, it wouldn't just bounce off and would probably cut their head off. Same could be said for other large bladed weapons. This could also include a bullet going mach 10.

It all comes down to how strong the hit is. A one-hit KO attack would be enough to drop a person's Aura from 100% to 0%. Also because Aura coats the entire body, unless focused for a certain purpose or area (like Ren did), then there is always a chance things can get past it. It's like the energy shield from Halo; it can stop smaller attacks, but attacks from things like Rocket Launchers, Energy Swords, or a head shot from a sniper will end you no matter what your shield is at.
