When a strap pack fails, it will allow the blade grip and all associated hardware to depart with the blade. That unbalance can result in the opposing blade failing as well. Strap packs should be a zero defect part. But many pilots are ok with broken straps. When i say broken straps I'm referring to the individual sheets of metal that make up a strap pack.
