if you throw uke into a full force 6ft off the ground kaiten nage into a brick wall uke probably wont get up for a while, if he lives through it. If you throw him into a pond, the result could be a little diffrent.
My experience tends to show me that they need at least a basic knowlege of Aikido to get that far. Usually if uke doesn't step back they go face first through the floor as you cut down, there is no ukemi as such. It's only if uke steps back that you get as far as changing hands, controling the neck and stepping through to produce the "throw" as such.
