To elaborate a bit - the Advisory Circular for rotor burst requires a 'one-in-twenty' analysis - i.e. you need to show that the probability of catastrophic damage due to a rotor burst is no greater than 5% So, by definition, there is a small probability that any uncontained engine failure could be catastrophic.
