3 suspension bars transmit the lift forces from the mast to the airframe. One of the suspension bars can be clearly seen in the photograph of the detached MRH
And there is no bolt in the end of it or deformation visible as to how it became detached? I would think that the bar would fail long before the bolt sheared unless the bolt is loose then without tension it would snap like a carrot or possibly it was not even there.
The other end is obviously still attached so part of the housing is possibly still attached to the mast. The visible end is the frame end as it is the forked one.
How long would a 225 fly with some of the flight loads through the flared housing?
Looks a little odd. But then again all will be revealed in due course. Just saying.
