I was rolling with a big aggressive blue belt, he goes to pass, nearly tears shit up in my knee.

Both scenarios did not require a tap since there was no submission involved.

It might not have have happen to you yet but odds are against you that you'll get injured one day.
I have rolled with people up to 160 pounds more than me and never been injured by them. If the guys a dick and your 130 pounds then yeah I could see it happen but if the guy isnt being a spazz it shouldnt matter much. I will roll with anyone as long as they leave their ego at the door and dont do assh$%le stuff like neck cranks and repeated slamming ect.

I see where you are coming from and agree it is an increased likelyhood of getting injured if the guy is some 250 pound tank or whatever but as long as he is not a dick and you are both careful to not injure each other rolling together should be fine. JMO

Cheers!
