Yes and no. Locations make you more likely to go down without dying from THP, but the torso and head location hits can be potentially lethal much more quickly.

Head hits yeah, and the same for abdomen, since they were set at 1/3rd HP. Chest a bit less so, since it was at .40 HP. But with the melee hit location chart there was only a 30% chance of getting a hit on the abdomen, chest, or head, with 70% of all hits going to limbs.
