Hardly think so....I’ve seen the result of one clothcock peelot do a nose in to the side of a rocky slope only to hit the ground with 2 of three blades, Fvking frightening as he then proceeded to fly 20mins after that, back to base...3 blades replaced & inspections yada yada. Surprising how little the damage was
