Thanks Big Pistons

I see your point; but actually by "structural damage" I was referring to something a bit more..."drastic", something like a big prop overspeed (I take your point however, the overspeed will be "small") that forces the blade out of its design limits, let's say, by centrifugal force. Can a blade be destroyed (or at least that the blade comes off the blade hub) by an excessive centrifugal force caused by an overspeed?.

My concern is that, if it can come off the hub, it could hit the fuselage and make some serious damage. Is that a posibility?
