There is a certain spot in the neck or spine that causes death. If you for exemple take when Levi stabed Reiner with the sword through his throat just before he transformed. He even said "that was really close, i could of died " and when MIkasa and the others used the new weapon to blow his neck open .He"s head was blown away but still survived. And standed up.

And when Mikasa cut through the back of his knee that was his weak spot of the armor as Hanji explaided. Reiner survived his head getting blow up because he was still connected to his titan and Levi's  death blow because he transfered his brain functions to his body but it was him shifting that healed him up and made him able to fight.

There is no logic explanation on why the Attack Titan should be standing when there is large hole where his spine is supposed to be, logic would dictate that just like the Armored falls down when that spot behind his knee is hit so the Attack Titan should have passed the rest of the fight with his lower half incapacitated.
