Rumil has been trapped in the Barrow!
Eye Archers

One thing to consider is that Legolas is pimarily an archer.

Admittedly he does get his 'long knife' out when needed but most of the time he is shooting from a distance. I guess Gimli and Legolas therefore have about equal chances to stop an arrow but Gimli is more likely to be wounded in hand-to-hand combat, simply because he does more of it. Add to that the orcs' lack of marksmanship and I think its not surprising that Gimli is the only one of the pair to be wounded.
