To me it depends on what they thought was happening with him. If they knew he was messed up, or having side effects from muscle relaxers, then I can see them doing that. They know it's probably not serious. And I imagine that's probably the case, they expected him to fall out or have problems. Because if he just fell out with little or no warning they'd probably stop, thinking he might be in some sort of medical trouble. If you don't know substances are involved, it can look like a lot of things are wrong with him.

They appear to have relaxed more than his shoulder.
If I'd been the singer I'd have stopped RIGHT NOW! It surprised me to see the band keep going. Puzzling.

But Bobby is old.
Rumor has it he took an Ambien instead of a vicodin which he was taking for shoulder pain.
I think I would have stopped, but I think those guys have played through worse digressions on stage and they are sort of used to it.
