OK, here's a long usenet thread (from google) that goes into it:

And as a possible half-baked idea for a replacement for the "5 pts damage 
gives -2 Dx / 8 pts damage knocks you down / St 3 or less gives you -3 Dx" set, 
let me toss out the following suggestion: 

If you take 6 points of damage, roll 3 dice vs base St. Add 1 die for every 2 
extra points (4 dice if you take 8 pts, 5 dice if you take 10 pts, etc.) On a 
successful roll, you keep fighting without impairment. On a failed roll, you 
drop and start screaming for a physicker / for your mother / for your deity/ 
for any combination of the above / wordlessly. You may attempt the roll again 
each turn if someone "encourages" you to stand up (roll one less die if they're 
trying to get you to *run away* instead of fight) Without aid, you roll again 
after each minute. Until then, you're prone and can't crawl or take any 
actions. 

Once you do recover from a failed roll, you're still at -3 Dx due to shock 
and weakness until you heal at least 3 points of damage (the Dx penalty may be 
pro-rated - reduced by one for each point healed).
