Crudup's death scene as the the most horrific chest burst ever?

After Ingeniero posted the above image in another thread showing Crudup's stunt double, I began to wonder.
Why would a stunt double be required for a chest burster scene?
I may just be poorly versed in what is normal for the shooting of a film, but I have not often heard of using a stunt double unless the scene involves the actor doing something that poses potential risk of injury.
Is it possible that this chest burster scene is going to be more extreme than what we've seen in the past?
Or did Crudup just do such a terrible job convulsing that they told him not to bother and called in the double?
If the double WAS in fact brought in because the scene is particularly violent, how would you feel about such extremes? Extremes such as violent seizures, breaking limbs, teeth, even his skull against the rocky terrain.
What if the backburster/headburster isn't at all what Ridley intended to outdo the John Hurt scene with? What if this Crudup scene ends up being the true one-up to the original birth scene?
I'm currently leaning towards Crudup not doing a good job (or perhaps incapable due to a previous injury) and requiring a replacement. Still I figured if this "extreme chestburst" thought was worth considering, it was worth discussing.
Certainly seems a Brutal Scene....
And i think the Trailers has not had the CGI done yet, the Xenomorph looked rough around the edges. and so they could do a CGI overlay for any split second we see the Stunt Doubles Face.
I think we can confirm the Mystery Person here..
Could be indeed Demian Bichir's Stunt Double Sean Button
Which is maybe why i could only match this person with Liam Rigby but surely this shot was after the Back Burster.
If we are looking at and Analyzing Stunt Doubles no wander we can be confused to who it could be.. for a few shots now.

If Crudup ends up looking like someone has thrown a hand grenade on a deli tray, I suspect that maybe the chest bursting scene may have required some form of explosive device attached to the chest of the stunt double. AC sounds like it is going to be excessively graphic. I figure that if you have an explosive charge on your chest, you would need to writhe round in a manner that makes sure it is facing in the right direction when it goes off.
