They had done a series of more aggressive rolls and in this instance they'd done 5 wraps of the rope IIRC. He definitely got hurt. On the last one, his legs flew apart from the centrifugal forces and "ripped" him between the legs. Our solution with the next Stuntman was to ratchet-strap his legs together.

The important part of the ruling was that he was deemed an employee, and in CA the sole recourse, barring gross negligence is Workman's Comp. He tried to argue that it was an "Ultra Hazardous" activity and that I should have been there. In fact, it happened when they were rehearsing and I didn't even know they were working that day. The picture I posted is from actual filming after the fact.
