Where exactly did you check? it would interesting to have a look at what is actually happening to the fleet.
I have heard of. a lot on 76s over the years. More than one occurred on hand over of controls for a deck landing. One poor fellow was present at 2 in 4 months. Forever after he lived with the nickname “Pops”. One thing we discovered was that the red button on the cyclic, which all thought required a good hard push, would activate at the merest touch.
