hmmmm...

If you mean by "rolling out", as escaping the technique intended to pin, then I guess that would be improper.

But an uke can do more of a side roll. By this I mean, as the uke's back is beginning too arch the uke tucks the leg next to the nage under themselves then goes to the ground. I do this all the time and it is a great alternative to taking a breakfall. It is a sort of modified roll. I'm usually stopped from going over because I'm pinned to the ground.

Now, also shihonage can be used a projection as well and in this situation the nage, instead of bringing ukes hand to the ground as in a pin will project the uke away. In this case the uke can do a roll just as easily to get away from the nage.

Of course this is only based on my limited experience of 1 1/2 year of aikido.
