You have an never failing ability to misunderstand procedures: and make absurd comments. Under your 'risk' analysis you have seemingly ignored one main rotor system in most helicopters let alone one MGB, one cyclic, etc etc. The Performance departure profiles are well developed and long standing, but nothing in aviation will allow for all and every possible failure: it's a best risk/failure outcome.
That sort of post is what gets traction with media researching this thread for shock/horror headlines without either understanding nor follow up research.
