I know of 3 seperate cases of belts breaking that drive the HYD pump.
This was before the new style belts come on the scene.
All were a nonevent with the machines landing without incident and the spare belt that was already sitting over shaft being installed and the machine carried on back to work.
If the accumulators are charged properly and the pilot has adequate knowledge and training a HYD failure should be a non event.
