Interesting… But, do you allow them to 'roll twice' for the damage for each hit?

Why not? It's not like it's a "sneak attack", a helpless target is helpless regardless of whether he is aware he is being hit or not (as being helpless normally entails being snared or bound in some fashion).

Easy house rule for this:
Swift attack does 1/2 WS bonus hits automatically so just roll damage

Lightning attack does full Ws bonus hits automatically so just roll damage

If they normall get to 'roll twice' such as from Tearing trait or a talent then yes, treat it as a regular attack that just auto-hits - also allow for free called shots due to helpless target.
