You are correct there are at least two reported cases of parts of the tail rotor coming through the back of the hughes 300, the one at Biggin about 18 months ago after striking its tail on the ground on take off, and one back in 1975 where the tail rotor broke apart in flight and a fragment hit the pilot in the back of the head and killed him.

I've edited the above to include the word parts just to clarify.
