The only criteria I use in determining whether a player stays or goes is whether s/he could have avoided or attempted to avoid the contact.
If the runner does anything to give me the impression they see the opponent and is trying to avoid or soften the impact, they will receive the benefit of doubt.
If a runner never breaks stride or makes no effort to check up or avoid a collision, the player is done for the game.
