Good point.

Many years ago I had a main rotor blade delamination in a Bell 212 (twin Huey).

The aircraft rolled upside down, wouldn't respond to the controls properly and was bangin' like h$ll.

I had NO CLUE what was wrong - but I knew it was bad.

Irish luck got the rocket back on the ground and it was determined that the inflight damage was so severe the aircraft was totalled.

Never wanna do anything like that again. 😳
