Can’t we just imagine it as a really strong wind that knocks you off your feet?

It’s really not “wind”. The pressure drop across a human-sized object in the wind is a fraction of a PSI. An explosive shock wave can be 10PSI. It you measure how large a shadow you cast while lying on your side, you might be 70×12=840 square inches. At 10 PSI, that’s 8400 pounds of force, the same as a 4 ton car squishing you. People aren’t nearly sturdy enough for that level of pressure.
