is weight an issue?

If a heavy aircraft puts undue stress on the blades, what happens when the pilot does a steep turn - 2g, or even more. I am yet to see a flight manual (that I can remember) having a positive g limit for helicopters. 50 kg overloaded is nothing compared to a 1450 kg jetranger pulling 2.5g - 3625 kg and more.
