Post Input drive shaft failure S76

Hello Nick and fellow 76 drivers,
With regard to a internal gearbox failure of the #1 engine, N2 input driveshaft and the subsequent channelling of 100% of the turbines power into the tail rotor. Is it not unreasonable to expect that the tail rotor will overspeed to the point that it suffers a catastrophic failure and disintegrates?.
Hmmmm?
