Puma Rotors Running Roll-Overs

It would seem from pictures in other threads that there have been a fair number of Pumas that haven't been able to stay on their feet when on the ground.

Some have obviously been rolled when shut down and the wind has got under a blade and levered it over but there is also a disturbing number of events which have happened while rotors running.

There is a photo in the Bristow Photos thread of a Sealand Puma which was rotors running. There was a CHC one from Aberdeen which rolled over during a turnround on a rig west of Shetland. Bristows had one in Aberdeen a few years ago. Allegedly there was a VERY close shave at Aberdeen very recently. Anyone know of any more?
