Maybe, maybe not. If a player intentionally contacts a player hard enough to knock them off their feet, that player needs to leave whether it was with great force, malicious or whatever.

It is like pulling the trigger on a gun. Once you do, no matter what the intention, you no longer have control over that projectile(s). Same here. The intent may not have been to injure the player, but that is something beyond one's control and there is no room for it in amateur ball.
