I am with Hummingfrog on this one too...
Also in my view:
Taking an action of ditching a helicopter only because of a vibration is somewhat precipitated... Unless is something moderate to extreme of course.
Ditching a Helicopter only because of a MR chip light is also somewhat precipitated (as it could be a sensor failure).
Now... Ditching a Helicopter because of a MR chip light + vibration is something vey well explainable.
What sign did the crew have? I guess we will have to wait for the report...
