Cracked Rotor Hub

The cracked rotor hub on the EC120 is very disturbing. Not sure what unsual attitude would cause this. Perhaps the pilot exceeded positive G force.
Nevertheless very disturbing for a fully articulated rotor system.

I was looking at employing an EC120 in Texas doing about 10 to 20 lifts each day with about half that many starts.

Between the hot starts and the cracked rotor hub just recently discovered in Sweden not sure a start up with an EC120 is feasible.

Getting the jitters to say the least.

Any one out there who can want keep my confidence level up in this aircraft?

Thanks
