We can find in “Quidditch Through the Ages”, which can be assumed to be canon, this lovely poem:
Oh, the thrill of the chase as I soar through the air With the Snitch up ahead and the wind in my hair As I draw ever closer, the crowd gives a shout But then comes a Bludger and I am knocked out.
What if Bludgers, being modelled after naive physics, have inherent knocking-people-out property? Wouldn’t that be in line with how canon is being dealt with in HPMOR?

Very improbable; in Canon, they break bones in extremities all the time.
Bludgers are still magical and therefore could still “get at” the ‘mind’ regardless of the physical brain.
