I flew with one person who described a demo a cfi gave him where they flew around the pattern at 70%... The problem being that if the engine had failed, the rotor would have stalled no matter how fast the collective had been lowered.
Sounds like someone to stay well clear of! Apart from the sure death outcome of a power loss, I’m pretty sure the mechanical stresses on the blades and head will be totally outside their design assumptions.
