we need an engineer please

ok, i understand this upon starting ,where the clutch is glazed erpm is higher ,and rrpm is slowed by glazing of the cluch,to fix hold blades by hand upon starting and hang on for a few seconds and hopefully this will burn of glaze .............. but this helicopter was and had been flying for some time .... i was with the understanding that once the clutch was engaged it could not disengaged due to centrifugal force,,,now what about the rollers, plate, cushion, springs in the inner race assy in the free wheel unit? how could this let go
if this theory is wrong then ,unfortunately my faith and all my time approx 1500hrs in B47/KH4/3B1,has me a little worried ,
