    Let \(M\) be a complete Riemannian manifold. The study in the present paper refers to the complements of bounded domains as well as to the prominent role of the curvature (Ricci, sectional) in various interesting generalizations of the rolling theorem. The sufficient conditions are given that imply Blaschke's rolling theorem. The central lemma is motivated by the methods of \textit{W. Klingenberg} [Ann. Math., II. Ser. 69, 654-666 (1959; Zbl 0133.15003) and 78, 527-547 (1963; Zbl 0117.38701)] about \(\text{Inject}(M)\) and \(\text{Conj}(M)\).
