Various ways: 

o I have fatigue/stun damage and regular damage in separate "pools." When 
fatigue/stun St is 0, the character is semiconscious, when less than St 0, he's 
unsconscious. 

o Characters reduced below St 0 from injury normally take 1 point of physical 
St loss and 1 point of stun along with each point of injury below St 0. 
However if the character falls prone from an attack (or is already prone when hit), 
he takes 2 pts stun and 1/2 pt physical St loss per point of injury. So if a 
St 12 character was reduced to St -7 by a blow that knocked him down, he'd be 
down to -2 stun and out cold. (When he wakes up he'll also have a -3 penalty 
to his physical St) 

o Characters injured below St 0 take stun if they try to stand up or attack. 
This is applied at the end of the turn, to allow for the classic bit of "get 
reduced to negative St by an attack that also drops you to kneeling, struggle 
back to your feet, make a last attack - and then pass out. Or the other classic 
bit of being knocked down & badly wounded, standing up, and immediately 
falling over in a faint. 

o Finally, it's possible to make attacks for stun damage only, or for both 
stun & regular damage. 

So it is fairly hard to fall unconscious without dying, but not impossible.
