Maybe it is not a manouvre driven event. The possibility of disintegration of one blade needs to be eliminated. Blade fails, other blade lifts, failed blade spar cuts boom. This has almost certainly happened before with at least two R44s that I know of. I shudder to think that such a blade failure could occur so early in the service life of the aircraft. I really hope there is another explanation.
