Reading back over the thread....it would appear the consensus is the event in question was not a minor event....the outcome was fortuitous...and the pilot community can/should learn from what happened.
I saw not a single finger being pointed at the pilot involved in the event but a whole lot of concern that some were of the mindset this was no big deal.
Each of us knows the dangers of landing to decks as we do it all the time. We also know that the chances of having a blade strike are real.
The key is in admitting to one's self, the importance of maintaining a positive safety culture both by management and by crew and engineers.
A current thread notes an engineering failure that resulted in the death of a pilot flying an R-22, and this thread talks of an incident that could very easily have resulted in the loss of an aircraft and the people inside the aircraft.
Our own personal interests are served if we use both to learn from and hopefully prevent something similar from happening again.
