I'm not an aircraft maintenance engineer, just a simple B212 pilot. What you see there is the outboard end of the tension-torsion strap. There is is one TT strap per blade, and each strap has 2 retaining pins (one inboard and one outboard). The retaining pin you see there appears to have sheared and it's no longer retaining anything. As far as I know there is nothing a pilot would detect on a pre-flight inspection that would warn him of any anomaly with the strap or the pin (these are concealed within the blade grip).
